Default Another sunroof question

As I said in another post that I was replacing my headliner but at the same time redoing my broken sunroof. I took many pictures but am now having a problem. I removed the sunroof frame and motor, replaced cables and tilt open mechanism and after replacing every thing this is what I get.When I push to tilt it works OK, then when I push to open it returns to open about 6 inch from fully open,when I push to close it goes to the tilt again. So what it actually does is ether open or in the tilt position with no close. I tried the info from the other post on how to reset but with no luck.When I push and hold in tilt I can hear the relay clicking but no movement. I had thought that sense I removed the motor there must be some kind of adjustment on the motor gear release located below the motor this allows you to use a flat screwdriver to move the roof were you want it and disengage the motor.Does anyone have any answers??
Thanks

The little black box that syncronizes the sliding roof position needs to be set at CLOSED (2 white marks) and then installed to the roof trake CLOSED.
It's hard to explain but once you see it done it is easy.
