Is there an easy way to adjust it or do I just have to sit on a hill and play it by feel?

What’s it doing or not doing?

The cable is just completely loose and almost detached because the guy who owned it before me was too lazy to put in the effort

At the hill holder unit is there a stubby thick wire spring on the lever that cable would pull ? Maybe he took the spring off and didn’t really secure the lever and that lever has worked its way back?

The spring is still on and the lever actuates brakes still, the cable on the clutch fork is just completely loosened though

Set the clutch and allow 1/8” play to the hill holder engagement is how I recall that adjustment. But it’s been about a decade since I’ve owned one. 
 

If nobody else chimes in I’ll look it up in the manual. 
 

Or did you lose the nuts at the threaded end?

No I was just wondering if anyone knew how to adjust it properly because I assumed doing it on a hill is the wrong way

You’d be right in assuming that! 

As Moosen’s said, allow a bit of play - then test it out, you should have the hill holder let go just as the clutch takes up some bite. You don’t want the clutch to be fighting the hill holder (too tight). Test, adjust, test etc until you’re happy with how it behaves/feels when you use it.

Looser is better than tighter - you’ll learn how to drive with how you adjust it.

I disabled mine in my L series - had too many sketchy situations when reversing down steep hills I didn’t make it up. I just live without it and don’t really notice any difference really (my brumby didn’t get one so they’re basically the same to drive in that regard).

One more question and this might be stupid, if I had the hill holder set up correctly would it activate whenever I push the clutch in? Like if I'm on the highway and I try to shift?

No, but you might feel it slightly sometimes when reversing. 

I believe there’s something in the device that uses gravity to activate the hill holder. If facing down hill it won’t hold the brakes on - and it seems to only act on one part of the system. EG: brakes the front left and rear right or vice versa. Pretty sure it’s the FL and RR circuit that’s used.
