3P PA problem with NINA and CEM60

Posted this on the FB NINA user group, thought I'd drop it in here as well to hopefully receive further suggestions:

3 Point Polar alignment problem with Ioptron CEM60
Decided to do a 3 point Polar alignment in NINA as my guiding has been getting a bit cruddy, compared to the AM5 on my other mount.
I keep getting an error message saying the plugin slew rate (3) and timeout (10) need to be increased, which I have done, 5 & 15 respectively. Still get the same error every time.
I have noticed that the scope is barely moving between the three plate solves, and so the PA adjustments seem to be way out, as the Phd guiding also suggests.
Apart from the PA problem, all else is fine and working well.
Any suggestions?

FB suggested setting "Measure Point Distance" to 3 (10 is default). I've already changed slew rate to 5 and timeout to 15 in the plugin defaults.

Hoping someone else has encountered this error message and solved it.
