With the MAP set to 8-12" the prop will be on the fine pitch stop, so the RPM lever won't do anything - leave it fine in case you need some power.

The zero thrust setting is specific to an IAS and configuration - that's why you reduce the MAP slightly as your stude slows down on the approach.
Also, don't forgrt to remind studes to centre the yaw trimmer as part of their asymmetric pre-landing checks.
