I had to rotate the stars by +/- 90' and it lined up symetrically. i was confused because the points of the triads were touching, and it gave the illusion that only half the sides could be aligned. actually, by rotating all sides equally by +/- 30 or by 90 degrees produced 2 different classes of symmetrical shapes.enter image description here
