That's the correct way to set up both Spyre and BB7.
And yes, the arm should be at the resting (pretty sure M_V has fat fingers and he didnt meant testing) position, maybe just a slight teeny bit of tension to take out the slack on the cable but it should never be pre-loaded too much i.e. resting position is at 5 o'clock, tension set at 4.
As the pistons are moved via the actuating arms, ramps and bearings, loading it means that the bearings are already on the ramps before the brakes are applied.

Ive read that the 3mm adjusters loosen up pretty quickly, so not been using them, just the barrel adjuster to bring the pads closer to the rotor. This might mean the arm is already too far away from the 'testing position'? Assuming testing position is when the arm is fully released, if that makes sense
