Where to properly position a Gate?

The World Hub checkers first approved a recent version of KGRB that I did, but added a caution that three gates were not close enough to the terminal. I’ve got it down to one gate now, but I’m not completely understanding the following statement and don’t know how to resolve it. Any help will be appreciated!

Here’s the statement: — Parking spot 3 is slightly too far away from the gate. if you go to scenery editor>rendering>show parking spots you can see a dotted line around the parking spot which the terminal needs to be inside.

This must refer to one of two gates, either A3 or B3. As you can see in the screenshots below I have the dotted line showing around the parking spots. I have moved the spots (since this comment was made) as close as seems possible without extending over the painted lines which have been placed using coordinates taken from Bing Maps. What I don’t understand is what is meant by the “dotted line around the parking spot which the terminal needs to be inside”.

The screen shot that follows shows the A3 terminal selected:

This screen shot shows the B3 terminal selected:

Regarding spot A3, which the statement may refer to, you can see the green dotted line is now touching the terminal (it wasn’t quite this close when the statement was made). I assume this would meet the criteria of the statement but am not sure because the other A parking spots seem further away from the terminal to me, yet it is my understanding they are acceptable.

Regarding spot B3, the other possibility that the statement could refer to, it is much further away from the terminal than A3, but its orientation is about 338 degrees, so any forward movement (to move it closer to the terminal) moves it more north toward the associated jetway than west (toward the terminal) and it is now as far forward as it seems it can go without moving over the painted lines (dark green connected nodes).

Given this situation, which gate do you think is the unacceptable one, A3 or B3, and what would you recommend I do to get it up to acceptable by the World Hub?

I have tried two times to move the spots closer to the terminal but one of the gate 3s still needs to be closer. Your help will be very much appreciated!!

Here in the U.S. we say “three strikes and you’re out”. So I very much want to get this “right” with the next submission.

P.S. It could be that, especially if the statement refers to A3, I have moved the spot close enough to the terminal now. I am just not sure because, as stated above, right now I don’t fully understand where the parking location should be relative to the terminal.

Uploaded another version to the World Hub for with a link to this post. One of the individuals at the World Hub declined it (as I expected) . However, a good explanation was supplied. I made fixes per the explanatory comments and resubmitted the airport. That one has been accepted.

The reviewer indicated that each jetway’s end should fit between the two colored circles that appear when “Show parking spaces” under “Rendering” is clicked. Move either the parking spot or the jetway to get the end of the jetway between the two circles around each spot and make sure the outer circles don’t touch each other. This ensures aircraft spawn correctly and there is no interference.
