How to stop gear overlaps?

Hi so I'm having an issue with my gears where when I set them to have a gear relation, the teeth overlap as it spins. How do I fix this?

    Expand "Revolute 2", double-click "mate connector" then "move" then "angle"

    Hi I'm unsure how to complete the above suggestion. Is anyone able to give a more detailed response or a screen record?
    @NeilCooke sorry to ask
