Cannondale Carbon Road Question

Hi I have a cannondale premium road fork and have recently looked at the cannondale website, it said that there should be no spacers above the stem. I have also read that it is not good to have the top cap resting on the resting on the steerer tube. I was wonder what is the proper order in which I should have the stem, spacers, top cap in? Should I have the spacers, then the stem and have 2mm of space from the top of the steerer tube and top of the stem? Or have the top cap rest on top of the steerer tube? Thanks for the help in advance

Don't remember which tech note exactly, but one here has a good explanation and diagram.

5mm under top cap, and 5mm right above headset. Fill the rest in with stem + spacers.
