If you align the rails using the methods the manufacturer recommends having them in the same plane ^ ^ makes things simpler.
Same plane, not < >.
I think most people are letting the rails self-align and feel for binding and it seems to work fine in either orientation.
If your machine is extremely rigid the manufacturer method is the way to go.
Anyone who says "It only goes together one way" has no imagination.
