1) loose the bolts on top
2) tune on the headstock
3) tight the screws
4) fine tune with the nobs on the bridge

for some reason it keep loosing tension after like 10 minutes of playing, all the strings are flat by a little. Is that normal? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks guys !

If you put on new strings they are probably still stretching. When I put new stings on with a Floyd, I'll spend some time playing before locking the nut. I will center the fine tuners, then give the strings stretching and a good workout until the tuning gets stable. During this process, I re-tune using only the machine heads and lock the nut only after it is apparent things aren't moving any more.
