Default steering setup question

hello all.
i am just putting together db12rr and everything went together except for rigging the steering.
(by the way, thank you Adrian for your diff setup treatise, i would have been wasting $$ on carbide balls and never thought to burnish the rings which really helps smooth the action)

anyways, i have tried to use the angled mount to get started and have had troubles with the arms fouling on the inside wheel side's upper hinge pin, or rather the head of the upper hinge pin (the retainer circlip is on fwd end of the hinge)

i tried lowering and raising the servo, and moving fwd with the balls behind the horn but nothing lets the arms have a completely free range of motion. is this necessary? my eyeball can't tell how much steering throw is enough just looking at it.

thanks in advance for any insight or guidance.
