All the user manuals are on the SRAM website. A Google search will take you to them

It’s really easy. Size your chain first - wrap it round the biggest cog on the cassette and the chainring and add 4 rivets extra of chain. If it’s a full suss make sure you do this at the longest chain growth position (you might need to let the air out of the shock).

Then put the chain through and join it but don’t connect the gear cable to the mech yet.

Using your hand to push the mech get the lower and higher limit screws setup so the chain can’t fall of either end of the cassette. The chain should now shift up and down nicely by hand.

Connect the cable to the mech as taught as you can by hand - this is with the shifter in the highest gear and the chain on the highest cog (smallest one).

You then adjust it with the barrel adjuster on the shifter until it shifts perfectly.

If you can’t get it right like that then you need to adjust the b screw so the upper jockey wheel clears the cassette ok but hasn’t got too big a gap. I think the size of gap is probably in the above linked instructions.
