The second  picture is the correct  i also have  Boyd Hill  132 and set-up  like this    is the best  for riding in the POW and   move   deck  as close to the tail   as possible .

Do the rocker punk trucks have bigger hole spacing on the top of truck so u can slide the top deck little more to the tail?

 i had lots of problem  myself also when i  got  the trucks and   lib   for me it s the only  way to ride  because with that set up  you can get the nose up from ground  the most easiest way  , they are saying  if you  turn the the direction of truck other way it will be more stable   but  with this massive sub    there is no difference of  stability  , and in real snow    you ride your nose  top of the snow

I thought on pic 2, the double hinge suppose to be _\| instead of |/_ cause of the way the top base rises up when u press down on the tail of the top deck.

The double hinge lets the ski bend more  It can arch so it carves way better even if you pres on the nose. Also can lock on rails better.  On the lib 48 we have it double hinge on the fron and the classic on the back to make the tail as stiff as possible.  The ski can still flex but it pops better that way.  as long as the axels are toward the inside of the skate the truck works properly. If the bolts are toward the end of the skate it is kind of like having 2 classic rocker trucks.  Most every thing I set up is set up like pic #2
