Try without the teleconvertor first, just the DFA100mm with the 50mm reversed on it, the magnification will be high enough that you'll want to practice getting used to it before adding more.
The focus ring on the reversed SMC M 50mm won't change the optics of your setup, it just moves the outer body of this lens forward or back, so you can ignore it (I'll sometimes set it to the minimum distance so the rear element is recessed a little bit for protection and shading).
I'm just eyeballing it but:
With the DFA100mm set to infinity focus, the magnification is twice life size and the focus distance is roughly 4cm from the rear element of the smc m 50mm.
With the DFA100mm set to minimum focus, the magnification is roughly three times life size and the focus distance is roughly 2cm from the rear element of the smc m 50mm.
These are tough distances and magnifications to work with, tripod, non-moving subject, and appropriately positioned lighting are all important when starting out.
