PC-Dmis True Position nominals not correct

2021 SP1
When I create a True Position dimension for a constructed cylinder (31_post), the X, Y, Z nominals to the refenced datum cylinder are not correct.
I noticed that the alignment system of the referenced cylinder (28_post) do not match the current program alignment (see attached image)
All features were created under the current program alignment.
How do I make the cylinder alignment match the current program alignment so the nominals show correctly?

In the Geometric Tolerance command window, navigate to the Nominals tab. Change the Display Coordinates from Datum Reference Frame to Current Alignment.

The Geometric Tolerance will, by default, report the position of the considered feature in the coordinate system established by the specified datum reference frame. You can override this as described above to show the position of the considered feature in the active alignment. Note that neither of the display coordinates will change the measured (reported) value.

What I need to report in the TP is the Y Z of the 31_post feature to the datum F feature, not to the current alignment.
When the display coordinates is set to datum reference frame, the reported nominals are not even close to correct.
I thought this was because the alignment system of the datum F cylinder (Y and Z directions) is not oriented that same way as the current alignment system.

Create an alignment that yields the coordinate system that you are looking to report from, and then change the Geometric Tolerance command to report using Current Alignment.

...and make sure your THEOs are correct since you're not using CAD...
