Pin Slot Mate Question

Can someone take a look at this and let me know whats going on with this pin slot mate?
I can only get the pin slot mate to work when the slot is at a 90, 180, 270 or 360 degree inclination.
How do I get the pin slot to work when the slot is 30 degrees or 60 degrees or 126.2 degrees?
I did circular pattern the sketch the slot is based from...
Here is doc link: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/658a952fd0f99222f0dac82c/w/e85002951a19f5bf96aa0ddb/e/60bd202b50099aafd74d6fb0
Thanks!

Adding a mate connector to the slot will help set the direction of the pin-slot mate. Using the mate points that "wake up" will be default aligned to the global normals.. which will show off axis to the slot.Lou Gallo / PD/UX - Support - Community / Onshape, Inc.5
