To us (U.S.), to make a setting is to set the table
Also called a place setting
I can't recall ever hearing anyone say make a setting or make a place setting with that meaning. "How many forks do you need to make a complete place setting?" but that's a slightly different sense of make.

If a place setting is a set of dishes and flatware constituting a table service for one person then wouldn't "to make a place setting" mean to set out the dishes and flatware

'Configuring a setting' does have too much redundancy or at best overlap, at least in the given context. It is almost as bad as the flight attendant pitch about putting electronic devices in "the off position".
