I suggest before entering the sim(when you get the zfw) to look at the (unreliable airspeed section in qrh) which will give you pitch and thrust for your landing weight.
When you get the glide slope to capture start to pitch for the value of geardown/flaps 30 (around 2.5 degrees for 800 and 1.5 for 900s) then select gear down and lower flaps.
Speed will stay about same as you are adding drag(gear,flaps) while starting to descend.57-58% N1 should be ok.
When you get to 500ft,pitch must be decreased a little (-1deg),900 s reduce from1.5 nose up to nearly nose to horizon.
At minimum,dont make any inputs and you should stay within standard criteria.
For lateral, i suggest you use the track mode as you will see corrections to be made even before the loc displacement occurs.
Remember,make few degrees corrections should allow you to stay within the parameters all along.

Good luck!
Crossunder,some are slower to get to standard as others,but because they know and accept their weakness,they will get better than others over time.
Raw data to minimum vis is not easy and demands some high concentration.
At 160 kts on app speed on a 900 to minimuma with full house in the back will-get any pilot full attention.(even with flight director).
