Problem with Carbatec jointer fence alignment

Hi all, hoping someone can help. My new Carbatec CJT-350X finally arrived after more than 3 months. The assembly went smoothly, still to check out the table alignments with the dial indicator, but a quick look with a straight edge indicates they are pretty close.





My problem is the fence. The machined surfaces of the bolted on fence carriage are level with the tables. But I cannot get the fence parallel to the tables. Looking from the front, the far RH corner hits the back of the infeed table, and the far LH side is well clear of the outfeed table. The 100mm long raised foot on the bottom of the fence just to the left of the cutter head does sit on the machined surface of the fence carriage.





I would welcome any ideas and suggestions on how to get this right.
