Put the first section of the crank on the shaft and connect to the passenger side actuator arm. The crank arm will be pointing slightly above horizontal. Then second not goes on and connect to driver side arm.

Unless I’m mistaken you have it the other way.

I can see your problem Billy but I cant really put it into words, if you have a look at Firecrakas post you can see how the pivot points are all in a straight line with the wiper motor pivot in the centre , yours are on the piss and that is what is giving you dramas
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

The factory ek ones are on the piss. It is 180 degrees out of phase. That’s what is causing the problem.

The Crank arm coming off the wiper motor should be at between 10 and 11 o'clock in the park position from memory So disconnect the arms turn it on then off so it parks then undue the crank arm and put it back on at around the 10 / 11 o'clock position then reconnect the arms to the crank and see where the outer wiper arms are on the screen you may have to take them off and reposition them To the park spot hope this helps mate I have done a few conversions and have pics but will need to find them I will post pics later when I find them :oops:

You need to turn your crank 180 degrees Billy

As Jay says the main arm should be at 10:30 on the clock. Yours in the photo is at 4:30.
Cheers
