Answer Anav,
It is really easy to set a ball when it is tossed. The ball is always at the same height, tossed at the same speed and most of the times it is tossed so you don't have to move. You need to practice setting off a pass and stop setting off a toss. The more reps you take the more accurate you will become. Make sure you get to the ball quickly so that you are there before the ball and you are in a good position to set.
Keep on working with the libero and you will see improvement.
