Tricky Frame Corners

Hello. I'm trying to design a car frame, and I'm having some trouble with these two corners.
For this one, I want the edge of the gray piece (the leftmost edge) to be aligned with the edge of the blue piece. Right now, there is a gap because it's drawing the frame from the sketch in the center of the blue pipe.
For this one, since two of the edges require two different angles to trim to the dark blue part, I can't have them in the same frame, but I still need them to connect nicely. I don't care about the angle of the corner—I just want the parts to be flush to the dark blue one.

@george_bankoff664 there are a few frame tricks for getting parts aligned and trimming them. For example, the frame feature allows you to choose the frame alignment. Please share a link to your document, or a copy of the document so that we can help you out with these specific problems.
In the second issue, it might be physically impossible to have the frame cross sections match perfectly when both frames are at those specific angles. In cases like this what might end up happening in the real world, is that they line up the best they can with whichever edge you choose, then they are welded and ground so it seems like they are perfectly aligned but the cross sections may not perfectly match. That said, we can teach you how to line it up as best as physically possible. What I usually do, is align the two frames separately, like in the bottom picture, then use the move face tool to extend the frame ends beyond on another. Then you the frame trim tool to trim the frames to a plane or each other.

Yes I think that is probably the best solution. Thank you!
