Your parallel linkage looks right to me. I've always been told they should run slightly uphill. Kind of hard to tell exactly what is going on when planter is stopped. Best advice is to have someone run it at field speed while you walk along side and see if guage wheels are running on the ground. They do not have to be tight to the ground but then you don't want them riding up loose all the time either.
It looks like you are makeing furrows? Is there a reason for that? Those row cleaner making furrows like that are going to take a LOT of down pressure. I would try raising them up to just brush a little residue off then all you will be pushing in the ground would be the front coulter and the opening blades. That should require 1/3 the downpressure you are needing set like it is now.
