Setting refers to the time/place the narrative takes place in, eg Victorian England, Nazi Germany, etc.
Set is the props, items and furnishings which convey that setting, eg:
Nazi Germany - swastikas, portraits of leaders, guns, uniforms, and so on.

A setting is the situation in which the story is set. I've never heard of set being used as a story element, but possibly it means the set of characteristics of one of the characters, or maybe the set of circumstances which led to the situation being written about.

Setting is the time and place, where and when a story takes place
Set can be all kinds of things between a part of a tennis game to how in a play the characters are placed in and around their surroundings.

The setting is the time and place of any work of literature, e.g., the Klondike in 1890s, medieval English castle. A set is the furnishings and props of a play that show those elements.
