There are 3 major areas where maladjustment will affect a clarinet.

1: The adjustment screw on the G# key must be set so that when the A key is pressed there is a slight clearance before the key hits the adjustment screw.

2: The bridging mechanism between the upper and lower joints must be adjusted so that when the rings on the lower joint are pressed the pad immediately above them must close fully and so must the pad controlled by the upper joint section of this mechanism.

2: The crows foot adjustment on the lower joint. This is a complex adjustment, as there is a lot of interaction between keys. There are some good YouTube clips which explain this, just search on crows foot adjustment.

Other than this, the height of the rings above the tone hole chimneys is important and will vary depending on your finger type. Adjusting this can cause problems with the bridge adjustments as there is some interaction. There are other adjustments which can cause problems, but mostly they are easy to work out. Good luck.
