Mine are easy to raise and I'm actually doing it wrong...
1) I pull the awning away from the trailer (unrolling)
2) Extend the rafter arms and put a little outward pressure on each for some tension
3) Tightly lock the rafter knobs
4) Extend the main arms to desired height.
I'm too short to reach the rafter knobs when the main arms are fully extended, so I do them up earlier. I have had no binding problems at all. I'm thinking something must be bent or jammed elsewhere in the OP's awning system
That is not the wrong way. Your procedure is the correct way! :)

That's the way I've done every awning for years....didn't know that was considered wrong :B
I'm tall and I can't reach rafter arms or knobs otherwise.
