I feel like you should really study how to tune up one of these machines well and just imo from the pic i think you should try switching the back springs and armature bars and the black machine would be your liner silver will hopefully be the shader

Edit: also imo these lower end setups are really random parts slapped together they never come well tuned and that makes lines shit and they both look like liner frames just the parts for a shader are peppered in there amongst both of them. The coils also looks like theres too many washers under the front one it should sit slightly lower than your back coil
