You did the install with the brake "arm" locked an then eliminate the slack through the adjustment as per instructions? There shouldn't be that much adjustment needed.
I use pliers to get a good grip on the brake cable and pull it as toight as I can.
Lemme grab them instructions from the interwebz

Hey thanks for this (and the pdf etc). Yeah I followed the instructions pretty closely, including clamping the cable with the brake arm locked. Good shout with the pliers, I’ll give that a go. What levers are you using? I found some posts elsewhere saying that having lots of lever throw can be a thing with these callipers (and that Shimano levers can work better as they pull more cable)

Is anyone using TRP hy/rd callipers with SRAM road levers? How was the setup process? I’ve just fitted this combo and the lever has so much movement before the brake calliper engages with the rotor. The lever is practically touching the handlebars (the shifter paddle is actually going beyond but the angle means it doesn’t actually touch). I can get the lever throw just about acceptable by winding the barrel adjuster on the calliper all the way out, but apparently that’s a no-no with these callipers as it breaks the self adjustment of the pads. Any advice appreciated!
