and that leads me more to believe the manual I saw. The lower attaches to the spreader base in the forward part of the spreader. Putting it on the rearmost position on the chainplate essentially has it crossing the other two shrouds. However it's not apparent because it's coming in at an angle. But it seems wrong that the lower would cross behind the the cap and intermediate. The cap is clearly more aft at it's attachment point to the mast than the lower.
