Program for MP60’s on a 340 gallon tank

I have a 340 gallon tank (24” x 24” x 138”) with dual overflows on both ends of the 138”

I have four mp60’s (two on each end next to the overflow boxes)

My tank is inwall viewable on both sides so this is really my only options for placement of my mp60s

My question is I feel like the mp60s are fighting each other and I’m lacking flow in the middle

I have ran these anti sync between the two on the left and two on the right

Any suggestions on a better way to program these? I have the wxm module with my apex so I can get creative

Thanks

Alternating reefcrest w/sync? Things seem to be stuck midway in the tank.

Its hard to explain but here is what i tried so far

i have four pumps total

Pump 1 & 2 are on the left side going left to right and Pumps 3 & 4 on the right side going left to right

I had 1 and 4 synced and 2 and 3 synced. One pair would do reefcrest and the other would do constant and then they would switch. The intensity would ramp and up and down and up, etc

I also tried syncing pump 1 and 2 and then 3 and 4 and alternating one side as reef crest and one as constant

I also tried this same thing in anti sync and nothing seems to change that where the flow from each side meet is a dead zone
