It seems to me that you have placed the pieces for bent bozos in reverse order of what would it be in the opening. My take on this would be that most pieces should as much as possible move towards the center with their first move. I believe that happens only for black, i.e. the example you gave.

For example if bozos are white then the left aanca should be placed on g1 as it moves towards the center that way. But from black's point of view the right aanca would move towards the center if you place it at the beginning on g8. I think it's not that tricky what I'm saying and it goes that way for all three pair of pieces. See you soon!
