Simulated Machine with 4th axis Orientation Incorrect

Ive been having a frustrating issue lately with the manufacturing workspace when using machine simulation with a 4th axis. Regardless of how my WCS is selected in the setup, the simulated machine axis are not in line with the direction they should be. Ive attached a few images from a test setup I threw together trying to troubleshoot to hopefully get across the issue I am hoping to solve. The X axis is currently pointing away from the rotary, And Y axis pointing away from the machine column when in reality, this should be the inverse. In the last image, I turned on the origin, which is in the orientation I would expect, but the WCS always has the X axis pointed away from the X axis regardless of which point I select or how I decide the axis should be flipped. Depending on how the WCS is selected, the entire machine flips to match(I believe this is correct behavior, but I thought id mention it). I suspect this may have something to do with how the A axis kinematics are set in the machine configuration and how the rotary axis position on the table is determined, but Ive come up dry trying different settings in the machine configuration so far.
