Need a three dimensional thinker

I've got this top almost fitted but have a problem that I should be able to see what's wrong but after studying on it awhile I'm stumped. I know I could just start randomly adjusting things but that would take alot of work. I know there alot of smart people on this forum so I'm going to show the problem and any advise you can give me Id appreciate. 10 years ago I could of figured this out in my head 🙄

OK here is the front on the top, correct tabs in front latch locked:




Perfect 👌

Now with the spinlock rod setting in the hole but not locked.




Now Spinlocks locked. Which I've been told pushes the top foward and down at the same time



As you can see the spinlocks are pulling the drivers side away slightly and the passenger side up. Since the tabs are correct, the front latch is good and the top fits fine against the windshield header. I'm thinking the spinlock rod brackets are the problem. I just can see the adjustments in my head. I can start randomly moving them around but its a one man job and I should be able to know where to start but my mind is blank.
Opinions, where woukd you start?
Thanks in advance.
