1Push the lever as far forward as you can and align the points in this positon.

Finally align the points so that they align when no force is appled (the lever is in the opposite position to that of when it was aligned in 1)

The release arm (let's not call it a lever as that's confusing!), when the cover is fitted, should be aligned by the punch marks with no cable attached and pushed forward with your finger. Pushing it forward with you finger just takes up the slack that the release arm spring creates as it wants to pull the arm back. It is also a visual identifier that the clutch is at the last point at which it will be engaged; any further forward movement in the arm will start to disengage the clutch plates.
When you fit the cable, hold the release arm so it stays aligned by its punch marks (which you have already set in 1). That will then give you a good starting point to adjust the clutch free play as you know that the actuating mechanism is right on the point of engagement/disengagement.
