In trail riding my bikes back end seems to chatter (bounce) going into tight turns while chopping the bar. I think it is my rebound setting but not sure if it is high/low. From what I have read it seems that it might be set too low?

You may want to try speeding it up some (counterclockwise), but first determine whether the rear wheel is locked from braking. If the wheel is locked, no amount of clicker will fix the problem. :D

Rear tire chatter under braking is a symptom of too much rebound damping.

I've experience this problem when I use too much rear brake. Try feathering or staying off the rear and see if it clears up. I found that a change of rear pads helped quite a bit as my stock pads grabbed with very little pressure.
