Hello Joe,
I was not able to fully understand what is your question. I have attached a simple app to this response, it is based on your code and it works as expected. If you need further assistance I will ask that you try to explain again what you want to achieve, also please attach a snapshot of what you currently have and a drawing of some sort that depicts the results you are after.
Regards,
