setuplayout vs Indesign!

Severe Covid-19 restrictions locally have left me out on a limb unable 
to be side-byside with people who can set me on track for a few things! 
Hence the bombardment of questions, for which I apologise. But almost there!

The InDesign QC individual (who accepts my ConTeXt-produced pdfs) wants 
some tweaking to my layout, saying, in simple terms:/Odd/right pgs left 
margin should be 20mm and right margin 15mm; even/left pgs right margin 
20mm and left margin 15mm/.

I think the difficulty is that what InDesign calls margins might be 
termed a little differently in ConTeXt and I have no experience with 
InDesign.

My initial setup was as follows for a paper size defined as 
[width=140mm,height=216mm] double-sided setup (in other words a standard 
8.5"x5.5" book):

\setuplayout

[backspace=16mm,
     topspace=12mm,
     header=6mm,
     headerdistance=10mm,
     footerdistance=9mm,
     footer=8mm,
     width=fit,
     horoffset=12.7mm,
     location=middle,
     height=198mm,
     marking=on]

There was no mention of 'margins' as such in that layout, and the result 
is close to what is wanted but not quite. Do I solve the problem by 
adding in: leftmargin=20mm,
rightmargin=15mm,

or is it some other item I need to adjust to ensure the 20mm/15mm 
dimensions requested?
