Is there a certain measurement tha we can make to make our float height correct before we put our bowl on and use the clear tube method ?

See paragraph from FSM, can’t help more without knowing information on your bike or engine.

On VM 28SC carbs I measure as follows: With the carb upside down and the float valve pressed closed I measure from the lip of the bowl to the top of the float. Should be about 16 mm.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Mechanical float height for those carbs is 26mm from bare gasket face to the bottom of the float.
This is measured with the carb inverted and the float resting on the needle valve.
