clean at level flight: 60-55% n2?
level at 180 flaps 9:
1500fpm descent at 180 flaps 9
1500fpm descent slowing to 140 flaps 22 gear down
1500fpm descent at 140 flaps 45 gear down
level at target (135 or so) flaps 45 gear down: 75% n2?

I have been trying my best to catch up but may only have one more shot at this. I am doing my best here to chair fly these approaches so any suggestions or help would be great!

BTW, the PM is clear now
Side Note

If you pull one thrust lever back like your walking them back to half of the width of the top of the other thrust lever then bring back the other one to match that will give you a change of 5% works great for small changes during approaches and steep turns.
