I finally got some time to test out PHD 2 drift alignment function again and I'm a bit confused!
Basically, the Altitude adjustment slew angles according to PHD2 drift align tool don't make sense. I'll let the photos explain what I'm trying to say:
Pic 1. Mount pointing roughly south (Good)
Pic 2. PHD2 drift align tool connected via ASCOM Gemini Telescope tells mount to slew to meridian and the equator i.e. meridian offset 0 and DEC 0. This looks good too and I can make the necessary Azimuth adjustments
Pic 3 This is where I'm confused! When the mount asks to slew to meridian offset 37 and DEC 18 for the Altitude adjustment. The mount slews to high angle ~60 Degrees and is facing towards north east?? Bad
My understanding was that the altitude adjustment is made with scope facing east and 30 degrees above horizon as shown in Pic 4. Am I wrong? or is there an issue with PHD2?
Please Help.

Reason: As per Ken's post below I've corrected the Azimuth values; I misread them when using the tool.
