Original attachement point - - from another viewpoint. Gives you an idea of where they are located on the deck.

In my humble opinion, if they were just a tad further aft (lined up with the bolt hole / pivot point) they would stay tight all the way up and add a little more security. However, maybe there is a reason you want these to slack a little as you go past 45 degrees. The side stays start to come into play as you get up past 70 degrees or so from the horizon.

Enjoy your new boat !!
