I'm re-doing windows and putting the screens back in but they seem really tight. Don't want to slide easily.

I have a question, which of the 5 tracks does the screen frame slide in? There are two slots / tracks on one side of the plastic strips and 3 slots on the other side.

The rest of the windows, and the wear mark inside the aluminum frame, show that the two slot side of the strip points 'out' from the opening, and the three slot side points 'in'. And the other windows have the screen frame either in the outmost slot, or straddling the second from the outside ridge of plastic. I'm not sure what's right.

Is there a diagram somewhere? The maintenance manual doesn't show it. Hopefully the assembly manual shows it, or someone could help a brother out.

Is my sliding screen supposed to ride in tracks like this:

b/c my tracks don't look like this. It's got 3 slots on one side and 2 on the other, and none of the slots are full depth like the one slot in the photo linked above. hmmmmm
