exterior lock Installation issue?

I installed this exterior lock on my gliding door carefully following the instructions. The keys work well. The issue I'm having, however, is that I'm unable to fully lock the door with the thumb latch. The thumb latch does not go down to the 6 o clock/vertical position; rather, it only goes to about the 4 o clock position (see photo). Did I not install the lock correctly? It seems to be fine when I remove the exterior lock completely. Help please!

I'm not sure about this myself, but I'm forwarding this discussion to my senior colleagues, and we'll back to you as soon as we have more thoughts. Thanks for bearing with us.

I think I can help. Judging from your door, I believe you have the wrong hand key cylinder. Andersen uses the exterior view to determine left and right hand. I believe you need to use the 82-317 RH door key lock.
