Aligning Linkages All on Pivots

I'm trying to figure out how to align two anchored linkages, see document. To connect as intended the two connectors must be inline with axle to axle center line. The Middle Pivot Arm, Middle Linkage Arm can be moved to place the Middle Linkage Arm Right Connector on the Gear Crank Arm.
Look at shared link. View Right Plane

You should be using an Assembly and placing the appropriate mates on the components. This will make part alignment a breeze as seen here:
