What I did was measure how far it would take for it to be straight but not too tight.

Example: If I place the turtle facing 12 o clock and start tightening it, and it ends up facing 6 o clock, just flip and place the turtle facing 6 o clock and it should tighten perfect at 12 o clock. Hope that makes sense lol

I tried this with mine yesterday, but it still ends up facing the same way no matter how many different angles I try. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong haha but I decided to just go the washer route.
