Octane Scatter Trees not standing vertical

[PixelEyes]

I'm running into an issue in octane scatter where I try to use tree models but octane scatter won't position them to all stand up vertical. Instead, they all go out in random directions. I have tried resetting the base tree object's PSR, I've tried changing the normal align, and all the rotational adjusters, and I've even tried putting a mograph step effector on the scatter object to manually adjust the tree's position. None of this has worked which leads me to believe I must be doing something wrong, or missing something, and I can't seem to figure out what that is or why the trees do this. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
could you share an example scene with me, even in private message?
