Question on collimation of Truss RC with TAK

Hello,
I've been playing with my new TAK collimation scope trying to learn the whole procedure using this article as a guide http://www.dosborne-astroimages.co.u...on_article.htm

I have managed to get the Secondary online was simple enough but moving on to next stage adjusting the primary and spiders i have noticed that my spiders are off line somewhat.
Indicated in Image A.

Looks like the spider veins are not lined up with H.
Is that something that i need to address?
I have misaligned the Primary tilt tip to allow for the spiders to be in viewed by doing so is that the cause of the spider vein misalignment?
Also i have noticed that once i center everything else there is no gap or light annulus I

I have included a image of the spiders and secondary mechanical setup for the RC Truss.



Waiting on a new focuser coming soon when released by customs.

so ill have to perform the whole process again once i have installed that.
