Yep, I rewatched his video, and an asymmetric stringing of the suspension (tight on the side your head/feet are on, loose on the other) plus maybe a Dutch ridgeline quilt hook, or maybe just a short loop of line ("triangle thingy") to change the tension angle will solve the diagonal lay problem.
It would be nice if JRB gave more guidance/warning on tweaking their suspension system on their website. The product description gives a pretty rosy picture:
The Mt. Washington under quilt works on any hammock – including all gathered end hammocks such as: Clarks, Claytors, Eagles Nests, Hennessys, Warbonnets and the unique Jacks ‘R’ Better Bear Mountain Bridge Hammock. It attaches to a hammock in under a minute with the included JRB Suspension System.
They do not point out that the side loops only match a HH or TTTG hammock, nor do their suspension system instructions say anything about getting diagonal coverage.
