atlas turnout wiring problem

Question...

Im wiring my turnouts. just wired a crossover using an atlas 83 snap switch left and a right. hooked it up by wiring the reds to the reds, greens to greens, and black to black and then the black to the common ac terminal strip i have under my layout. also hooked the green and red to the switch machine.

when i push the switch, they are not lining up for a proper crossover. now ive read the books and instructions and they say to change the n and the r around on the switch machine. i did that and no change. these are using the remote machine that have the wire connections on the inside (kind of prewired to the machine) and arent easily acceptable.

i tried to move the turnouts manually to match the proper alignment, but pushing the button just realigns it improperly.

any ideas???
 
Ok, so for anyone who cares, what you have to do in this situation is wire greens to reds, and blacks to blacks. Little help from Atlas wouldve been nice in any of their books, etc.
