i would assume this is done after i bleed the system and have applied pressure to move the new pistons in and out, but do i need to have the car on the ground and move , or right away after the bleeding has been completed?

You should get the venting clearance close before you start bleeding. There is only limited movement in the rear caliper pistons because of the eBrake setup. Having a large gap can cause the adjuster to pop out of the piston, and that could mean disassembly of the caliper to fix (in a worst case scenario). So set them close to correct before you start, then reset them after bleeding.
