I was amping up my velocity on my bravo one and my friend fiddled a lil with the screw on the right side of the marker. I'm not sure the affect it would have, but it seems a bit less accurate. Could just be the extra weight from my red dot, light, and other stuff throwing it off, but I want to know what that screw does anyway

The screw is the velocity screw and it is to control the velocity. You should never "amp up" your velocity over 300fps. Doing so is unsafe and can result in injury. Very high velocity can also cause the innaccuracies that you mention. Not exactly sure why you think extra weight on the marker would throw the accuracy off unless it's so heavy that your tiny little arms are shaking. BTW, there is a little booklet that came with the marker called an "Instruction Manual", read it. Lots of good stuff in there.

What velocity, in FPS, did you "amp the marker" up to?

i thought the velocity screw was the bolt on the left side that went in to the barrel? this one sticks out of the right. and I tried to find it in the manual after my friend fiddled with it and I couldnt find a thing about it.

Actually, I made a mistake. You're right the velocity screw is on the left side. There are 3 bolts on the right side. Two hold the powertube in, and the third is a screw that caps off the powertube outlet. This outlet is utilized if you ever want to add a cyclone feed. Page 8 of the manual:
 
 
If that isnt it, maybe you should post a pic of the marker with the screw you are talking about.
