How tight should the nock fit on my string?Should it just barley keep attached or should it move completly free? Thanks.

just tight enough to stay on the string

Depends if you shoot 3 fingers under or split fingers. Split finger shooters like them loose. I shoot 3 under. I build up the serving with dental floss if need be.I get better arrow flight when the nocks are tight on the string and don't move.

I think most will agree that it shouldn't "fall" off the string.

Hang the arrow from the string, then tap the string and it should fall off.

I shoot 3-under,and get the best arrow flight with a looser nock.Kingwouldbe said it best.
