Welcome to the club. When you say no play do you mean the suspension doesn't move when you put weight on the rear of the car? It should, quite freely.
Don't follow the 'nick' method of adjusting beam height. That involves only removing the torsion bar at one end and will shorten the life of your bearings. You have to remove the torsion bar from both the swing arm and the beam tube, adjust the swing arm height and then re-insert the torsion bar. (It will need rotating until it slots in). You can make very fine levels of adjustment that way).
The best guide, in my opinion, was written by Welshpug above. He's a resident expert both here & on the gti-6 site!

The set-up on the 205 was very similar and this is a useful guide too, especially as it uses a homemade puller to remove the torsion bars. https://www.205gtidrivers.com/articles/a...guide-r66/. I copied that idea when I rebuilt mine. https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=35827
Good luck!
