Hi George, not quite sure what help you need or where you are based?
 
This is not an easy answer.

Each trike model has a different method of getting this right.

The "trick" is to get the angle of the headset tube and the angle of the stub so that the stub in a neutral position is parallel to the ground.

Look at these frontal views of a few examples.
