I just went through this on both of my Omni 6+ rigs and 'assume' the Paragon would be the same.

Turn the PBT knob fully clockwise and adjust C24 for 15.3015 MHz. Now center the PBT knob and adjust R18 for 15.300 MHz.

Subsiitute your C22 for my C24. I'm not sure why the Paragon would use 15.301.6 MHz verses the Omni 15.3015 MHz?

According to my O6+ manual, it is mode independant.

I had to replace the 15.301Mhz crystal on the passband
tuning board.

Does anyone know the proper alignment procedure for
adjusting C22 for 15.301.6MHz and R18 for 15.300.0MHZ?
The manual doesn't describe the necessary steps. I'd
assume that the passband tuning control must be
centered and then the oscillator adjusted for
15.300.0MHz, the control would then be turned either
CW or CCW for 15.301.6 but the manual doesn't make
this clear. (Is USB or LSB used during alignment?) Or
is 15.301.6 the center reference???
I've tried various combos and nothing seems right.
I've got an accurate counter.

Any ideas?
