Placing a skRectangle centered on a queried vertex

Hello all! I am trying to write a feature that will place a sketched rectangle the is centered on a queried vertex. I am looking at @NeilCooke 's "Mounting Boss" feature for guidance and basing my code on what he has. I'm pretty close but I am not getting the desired results.
FeatureScript 675;
import(path : "onshape/std/geometry.fs", version : "675.0");
export enum postSize
{
annotation { "Name" : "Small" }
SMALL,
annotation { "Name" : "Large" }
LARGE
}
export function postSizeID(value is postSize)
{
return{
"SMALL" : 4 * inch,
"LARGE" : 6 * inch
}[value as string];
}
annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Adjustable Louvre" }
export const myFeature = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
precondition
{
annotation { "Name" : "My Query", "Filter" : EntityType.VERTEX, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 4 }
definition.postLoc is Query;
annotation { "Name" : "Face Plane", "Filter" : EntityType.FACE, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
definition.face is Query;
annotation { "Name" : "Post Size" }
definition.postSize is postSize;
annotation { "Name" : "Louvre Height" }
isLength(definition.louvreHeight, LENGTH_BOUNDS);
}
{
var postSize = postSizeID(definition.postSize);
var height = definition.louvreHeight;
const postLocation = evaluateQuery(context, definition.postLoc);
var sketchPlane is Plane = evOwnerSketchPlane(context, {
"entity" : postLocation[0]
});
var topPlane = evPlane(context, { "face" : definition.face});
definition.elemAdd = true;
definition.elemId = 1;
var nameId = 1;
var startPoint = vector(postLocation-postSize/2);
var endPoint = vector(postLocation+postSize/2);
definition.sketch = newSketchOnPlane(context, id + "sketch1", {
"sketchPlane" : topPlane
});
for (var location in postLocation)
{
var point is Vector = worldToPlane(topPlane, evVertexPoint(context, {
"vertex" : location
}));
// skRectangle(definition.sketch, "rectangle1" ~ nameId, {
// "center" : vector(point[0], point[1]),
// "firstCorner" : vector(point[0], point[1]),
// "secondCorner" : vector(postSize, postSize)
// });
skRectangle(definition.sketch, "rectangle2" ~ nameId, {
"center" : vector(point[0], point[1]),
"firstCorner" : startPoint,
"secondCorner" : endPoint
});
nameId += 1;
}
buildPost(context, id, definition);
});
function buildPost(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
{
skSolve(definition.sketch);
}
It seems like I am just missing something small.

Also, I realize now that my startPoint and endPoint variables are not separated by commas (fixed and still doesn't work).
Instead move defining startPoint, endPoint into the body of the loop.
const startPoint = vector(point[0] - postHalfSize, point[1] - postHalfSize);
with postHalfSize defined before of the loop.
