Is that an issue with Calypso and alignments?
The line (secondary) 2 points were supposed to be taken from left to right, but were taken from right to left, thus switching the vectors and "flipping" the part. And at least one of the line's hit points were taken out of order. Top plane (primary) 4 points, line (secondary) 2 points, and 2nd line (tertiary) 2 points.

This may be Basic - Level 1 training (If so, I apologize), but in PC-DMIS, if a manual alignment was used, I.e. But at this point, I'll use your recommended alignment. If time permits, I'll check into the PCM option. And I'm trying to see what capabilities Calypso actually has. I'm coming from programming with PC-DMIS, to Calypso. There is certainty PCM code that finds the current location of the center of the stylus, but I don't know how you could apply that the way you want here.
There may be some way to do this through PCM. Unless there's some way to take a point in mid air from the controller, that's about as close as you're going to get to a read-point alignment with Calypso. The base alignment will then run a set of iterations before executing the rest of the program. Then have a full Base alignment constraining all 6 degrees of freedom set with a loop. You can create a start alignment that uses only those 3 points as the XY&Z origins, leaving spacial and planar rotation blank. What you can do is pick 3 points on your CAD model that would represent your part location in XY and Z. It needs an actual contact point to register a point. It basically reads where the center of the stylus is, calls that the origin for XY and Z, then begins to find the part through multiple iterations of an alignment. The PCDmis guys call that the "Read-Point alignment".
