Help me finish the greatest F-22 on this forum :P

It features thrust vectoring and functional bay doors with 6 internal missiles.

Pretty much finished but there is one thing that is driving me nuts! The plane is not symmetric. Specifically, the VTOL and small jet engines in the back as well as the exhaust nozzles. These parts are a half-nudge-unit away from symmetry so I cant get this right using the in-game nudge it seems. Using the mirror tool breaks missile bay and thrust vectoring assembly. Will greatly appreciate anyone who can help me solve this.

Oh, and it wouldnt hurt to boost all 4 engines 25% in power ;)

    @DeezDucks Ah yes the fourth joining section? I agree, one step down though and i thought it looked too thin. But I'm sure you can find that half increment we need to make it right in XML

    @lemoose Thanks and It seems a bit too fat to me. I may try making it smaller at that fat point slightly in XML if you don't mind.

    @DeezDucks And for the nose, would you say its too long, short or something else? I've been looking at this plane for too long so a fresh set of eyes wouldnt hurt lol

    @DeezDucks Ok so Im not sure what I did but it flies straight now lol. If you wouldn't mind XML modding me the small jets only. 2x power on them should give me the performance I'm looking for.

    @lemoose Ik I did the same. It won't look as nice but if you get some tilted rear gear it will let you clip them inside the body a bit more. and the nose shape is a bit off. And sorry I forgot to XML mod the engines.

    Thank you so much! @DeezDucks
    As for the wheels, is there anything youd suggest? I agree that it sits a bit too high but if i make it sit any lower, the landing gear clips through even more

    Also try finding a way to make the plane sit lower without making the wheels go out of the top it's sitting a bit high atm.

    There also seems to be some asymmetry in the bay door panels which i cant quite figure out where it is either.
