Have you atached the brackets for the bones yet ?
Book dimensions are going to give you just over 2 deg neg castor. You need to be aiming for over 5 . Im working to 6 deg neg castor.
Two ways to do it imho .Either drag the top bones back 15mm or remake the top bones to give same efect. First option gives alsorts of grief
See my posts link Ive now had to shift FU1+2 to clear stearing coloum
shaft.

Anything over 5 degrees POSATIVE castor.
Ie the virtual king pin should be angled to put the upper ball joint centre line 25mm behind the lower one.
Important both sides are as equal as possible or the steering will pull to one side
