I have set up my bullet 3 HOB skimmer, not even 20 minutes ago. The sphere is producing bubbles. The cup on top is not getting bubbles. Is everything doing what it's supposed? .

So far so good. You might want the foam higher in the neck, but.....

Let it run until tomorrow and base your next tuning on how it skimmed in the previous 24 hours.

(Don't make adjustments based on how it's running at the moment in front of you.)

Before I went to bed last night the bubbles were almost to the top. I unplugged it for night because I didn't want to wake up to a mess.
 
This morning the cup almost overflowed. I have raised the cup and the bubbles aren't reaching the top. I'm going to adjust it slowly.
