no problem @Mikeymore
Do you need sockets on the attaching actor? if you attach the actor to the parent actors socket and it should orient how you have set it, thought there are overrides for that when you call the attachactor. you could always query the parent and get the location of the component then add any offsets you require to nudge it into the right place.
As far as the socket on the child you are attaching, place it in the blueprint at the point you wish the attach to, does that make sense? as you attach to the centre of the socket. but i would use the sockets on the parent which gives you full control by placing them where you want your child to connect.
Let me know how you get on
