    They have specific docking alignments. You'll have to place the APAS ports together so the outer bars connect (the inner flaps align without colliding, too, but that's harder to see once the dock is in place). CBMs connect the little prongs inside the big prongs.

    If you have the Docking Alignment mod, or another one similar, you can help yourself by checking your rotation angle. The ports will never dock at an angle not divisible by 90 (there's some wiggle room, so 359.8 is close enough I've found). You can sometimes visually align the CBMs so the prongs will mate as soon as you connect, the APAS is a little harder and takes some rotating back and forth to get it to click. Make sure to extent the APAS' Active docking mechanism, soft-touch it and then retract it so that you're locked in. Then you can rotate a little around those outer bars until they line up just right.

    You can also follow the instructions in this post to tweak the alignment angle tightness.

    Thanks, that seems to be working now.  I just wasn't being close enough to the angle.  Thanks

  2. First off, this has to be one of the best mods out there right now! 

    Secondly, I seem to be having some serious issues with both the Common Berthing Mechanism, and the APAS.  If I have them connected while in the VAB or SPH they stay connected perfectly and work fine, but when I try to dock, they both behave in the same way.  If I try to dock, the ports get attracted to each other, make contact, but refuse to dock/connect properly.  I have tried using every combination of passive and active objects just to ensure that it was not my fault, but I don't seem to be the issue.  

    Thanks once again for your great mod, and I look forward to hearing back from you about fixing this flaw.
