Theres no black art, it's just experience
When I do mine I fill them to be level with the top of the shock with the shaft fully out, screw the shock top on slightly, then push the shaft in slowly right to the top so some oil bleeds out and with the shaft still fully in screw the top fully on. If you cant push the shaft all the way in, keep the shock upright, unscrew the top slightly to let a bit of oil out then screw it back on again.
It's normal to have a little bit of an air gap if the shock has been sat a while, when you work the shock in and out a bit you'll find it disappears as the air mixes with the oil.
