Look at the numbers. 58W - 2.3W (your location) = 55.7º from due south. Corrected for topographic that is 60.2º to the west of due south. Whereas 62E + 2.3W = 64.3º from due south. Corrected for topographic that is 69.1º to the east of due south. You'll still need the plate to get your rear spherical joint in the right position, but the 9º less rotation to the west would eliminate the problem of the actuator touching down on the polar mount.Edit, I too can't picture CH's suggestion about attaching the actuator back to front, so I'm waiting to see the sketch.</blockquote>
