Soul + Zee Setup Issues.

Think I might have a problem with my Zee mech. It is the FR model. Cassette is 11-36 and 32 NW chainring. Think I set up the chain length correctly, i.e. +2 links.
So why is the mech so "horizontal" when in the largest sprocket? Tried adding extra chainlinks but then the chain is really slack when in the smallest sprocket.
Have I done anything stupid??

    TBH the top horizontal pic looks fine.

    Is the slack on the small with extra links?

    And your 2 links is without the mech.

    Top PIC is with no extra links. Yep measured without the threading through the mech.

    The mounting plate should usually be horizontal. There is a knob on the back that sits into a specific place on the hanger

    Looks like I did muck up the way I fixed the mech.

    This is how I had it first, with the small knob on the wrong side of the hanger.IMG_20140608_130032.jpg

    This is how it should be, thanks to Chunkers.IMG_20140608_152749.jpg

    Now looks perfect.IMG_20140608_154722.jpg

    Thank you!!!!!
