Guide alignment and offset guide feet

Guys-

Has anyone experienced this problem. I am wrapping up a 10'6" 7Wt Fly rod. When wrapping the bottom half which are double footer fuji strippers, I find that I can align the rings perfectly, but when I look at the guide feet in comparison to one another they seem to be off. One angle one way the other angle the other way. It is not extreme, but noticeable to my eye.

Like I said, I can get the rings so they are dead on in alignment withe the midline of the rod and individually they are centered on the blank with the top horizontal line of the ring perfectly perpendicular to the blank, but in relation to one another they structures are not in perfect alignment.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks ahead of time!

BTW- DOCSKI is an awesome and generous guy! hheheh, felt I had to thank you again for all your help!

Part of your guide prep should be to straighten the guide feet if they are out of alignment.
