At GS intercept select the attitude for the 3 degree descent and reduce the thrust to give you the correct ROD. The attitude controls the speed and the thrust the ROD. Increase the thrust and to maintain the correct airspeed make a small attitude adjustment hence the ROD will reduce.

From DH to touchdown it reverses: the control column manages the flight path and the thrust the speed.
