If your actuator won't move further east that 72, then the one of 3 things is going on. Either the actuator physically can't be retracted anymore, or they is a mechanical limit set, or there is a software limit set in your receiver. or 4 a software limit set in your gbox, which you said you reset so not that.
I agree with Bab, I would put it on the right side if you are going all the way that far west.Michael

Watch as you extend the actuator so you don't 'over center' the dish where it flops over or binds. When it's extended as far as you need it, or as far as possible, set the actuators internal limit switch.
