Yes, under that little setscrew is a brass plug, or on some older dies, a lead plug. If the plug gets lost, the setscrew doesn't grab enough to hold.
A very easy substitute is a piece of lead shot- put that in to replace the lost brass or lead plug, adjust dies, screw down the setscrew, and the lead shot mashes into the die threads- problem solved.
