Sometimes you have to shift the antenna slightly along the boom for elements to clear the tower or v mast clamp and then add weights to balance it. If you do this and want to phase your antennas you should shift all of them on the same tower.  If your TIC ring rotates 160 degrees that you need it will also have 360 degrees of rotation unless you have something else in the way.
