All the carbs I've ever done had a seam along the plastic float that needed to be set parallel to the float bowl mating face, this equalled the
manufacturers measurement for height.
Of course using the std method,
carbs off
bowls off
tilt the carb so the float causes the fuel supply stop to seat but the spring doesn't compress
bend the tang one way or other until float sits parallel to mating face
repeat

Here's a good guide that gives float heights for keihins that I have used over the years on KTM dirt bikes:
