So, if I understand this correctly, firstly position the fill light (say 12 inches off-axis) and the
power level it is set at is actually not at all important.
Then, set the main light (at say 45° ) to the subject and then adjust it until it is one to two stops brighter, then adjust the aperture to suit ?
