If you are using fiberglass insulation and standard stud spacing, the stapling flange on the fiberglass will fold out to touch the studs on both side and you only have to staple it in place. The backing paper or foil should be on the warm side of the wall to stop moisture from getting into the fiberglass. If you are using foam insulation board. Cut the foam insulation to the correct size to fit between the stud and apply construction adhesive to the outside wall to adhere it. After either type of insulation, you must cover the insulation with a fire rated material, usually drywall to protect it , but check with your local code officer about what is acceptable to meet local building codes.

Yes there are correct ways. Unfortunately, without knowing more about the project, it's really tough to give you any more of an answer.
