Any tips setting 3rd sensor since 1.14?

Took my PC + Rift downstairs today where I can set 3 sensors up again for some non sit down games. Previously setting up 3 sensors worked perfectly but this new wizard just won't work for me. Every time I adjust a sensor it tells me to move it somewhere else. I'm having to turn the front 2 in at 45 degrees where they used to be facing straight forward. The rear sensor just sat on a shelf behind on the right point towards the middle of the room and it worked great. Spent a couple of hours on this and have run out of ideas. The USB3 sensor tests run fine.
Any tips?

No idea.. but from what ive read you want the sensors angled to the center of your chest or center of your area.. you want to stand in between the corner (front and rear) sensors while facing the other sensor so all 3 can see you when you do the eye level setting. So imagine a straight line from the left front sensor to the rear corner sensor.. stand in the middle of the area between those 2 sensors while facing the right front sensor.. then hold the touch controller eye level and press thr trigger.

Works for me.. though i have not needed to run the sensor setup since 1.13.

I think you can set them up the way YOU think is optimal and then there is option to skip the nag that is not recommended and it will be used what you have setup. Look at the instructions, it shows the sensors to be set in kind of a triangle setup, not behind like it was before plus now it complains about the distance of the back one from the rest, I skipped that part and everything seem to be fine

Thanks guys. I'll give it another go angling them right into the centre

The process was certainly more fiddley than it used to be, but eventually I got mine done, with a few back-and-redo moves.
2 front sensors are angled in. These two sensors are a at different distances away from my center monitor, and the one that is farthest away wound up angled in about 35 degrees. The closer on less of an angle, about 20 degrees or so.
My 3rd sensor is left rear, almost as far over as the left front sensor. It is angled in quite a bit, maybe 45 degrees.
So far every game I have tried works well.
