What am I missing to make it work? It worked when I switched to a LLRR pattern (first pic) with 30 degree offsets (ie two holes over at the rim = one hole over plus flange swap at the hub), but I'd prefer the pattern to be LRLR if it is indeed possible.
the wheels you have pictured are all 1 cross.

take a look at the far side flange on this page
