The dipping machine that ive started using has 3 width settings.
Am i right in thinking to hit my triceps i need to have my arms tight to my sides and be as upright as possible and for hitting chest wider grip and leaning forward?

I believe you've hit the nail on the head sir 
Flaring elbows also seems to involve the chest more.

bringing in the triceps tight to the body helps isolate them more but puts more stress on the elbow/tendons i find.

For Triceps I try to lean back a little on my elbows and kick my legs forward a touch. If you tuck your legs back you'll find it'll force you to start leaning forward.
