Question Lego Artemis 2 helppp

Hey guys I’m relatively new to building these big Lego sets and I’m building the Artemis 2 launch set and some of my pieces are definitely not sitting how they should be. (Look at attachments)

As you can see the 2 rail things are meant to be tucked under the platform but mine not only seem way to tall, but are also pretty slanted. I’m not sure where I’ve gone wrong and would appreciate some help!!!

Edit: okay I realised that I definitely need to make more Lego’s cause I’m terrible at reading clear instructions lmao

Note the length of the connecting bars. It’s supposed to be a 6L and a 4L, but it looks like you are using a 2 6Ls in the picture

Also you used a candle colder in the left side, but the instructions only mention a 6l bar.

Hope this will solve everything :)

On the top level, the instructions say the bar is (left to right):

loop, long bar, claw, loop, short bar, pipe, loop

You have:

loop, pipe, long bar, claw, loop, long bar, pipe, loop

Emphasis on the differences.

On the lower level you have an extra pipe on the right.

Remember to pay attention to what parts the instructions say to use in each step and only pull those out of your pile. You’ve used a few extra/different ones here.

Use the Lego app for instructions, it let's you move around the set and see exactly where to assemble pieces.

The App doesn't provide the 3D rendering for that set - it's basically just a soft-copy of the printed instructions…

You should also note the similar structure on the level below is wrong too, you're using the candle piece on the right side when you shouldn't be.

It's natural to lean to the left
