That does not look quite like I expected. The equalizer bushings look shot. This may contribute to them out of position. Have you put a bar in there to make sure they are not frozen in place from corrosion or poor installation?
Looks like a Dexter equalizer and they did have some shipped with bad rubber. Probably no warranty at this point.
The geometry gets out of shape when the springs are elongated from being flat. the compressed rubber is not helping either. I think this is bunching up your equalizers and pushing them into a bad position. Long shot would be the equalizers are the wrong size between the springs.
Fully read the Dexter equalizer manual. Note there is a difference in equalizers for triple axles. Diagram p6 shows how it should lay out. I could not see all the angles needed in the video to really get a good picture of what is going on. You need to be your own expert on this.

Get your tape measure out and verify the dimensions etc.
