Incorrect Solar frames picked during the day

[V4G4X]

I want to try to specifically use the Solar method over time method because I feel it has the potential to be more accurate, over the seasons.

I have 3 frames, that I am using as 4. (I'll explain).
Frames:

1. Dusk frame (I want it to come a little before sunrise, let's say 6 AM or an altitude of -7 and some azimuth 65)
2. Day frame (A couple of hours later, a positive altitude of 12 and a similar azimuth to the sunrise frame 72)
3. Dusk frame (Pre-Sunset frame, a little higher altitude of 30, and complimentary(360 minus 72-ish) azimuth 282)
4. Sunset frame(Sunset frame, a little lower altitude of 13, and similar azimuth 286))
5. Night Frame(Negative altitude -6, and similar 294)

As I've explained, these numbers both:

1. Make sense to me logically (as I've explained in English)
2. Are validated by a Sun position calculator for where I live

But the frame transitions are weird, I randomly get the sunrise frame at around midnight.
Other transitions also happen quite differently than expected.

Something feels off.

What could be the cause of this?
I made sure my system can have location permissions so gets its current Lat/Long accurately.

My config:

[
  {
    "description": "Around 7 AM local time/day",
    "fileName": "day.jpeg",
    "isPrimary": true,
    "isForLight": true,
    "altitude": 12.75,
    "azimuth": 72.83
  },
  {
    "description": "Around 5 PM local time/pre-sunset",
    "fileName": "dusk.jpeg",
    "altitude": 30.38,
    "azimuth": 282.48
  },
  {
    "description": "Around 6 PM local time/sunset",
    "fileName": "sunset.jpeg",
    "altitude": 13.34,
    "azimuth": 286.42
  },
  {
    "description": "Around 7:30 PM local time/night",
    "fileName": "night.jpeg",
    "isForDark": true,
    "altitude": -6.66,
    "azimuth": 293.88
  },
  {
    "description": "Around 6 AM local time/sunrise",
    "fileName": "dawn.jpeg",
    "altitude": -7.39,
    "azimuth": 65.95
  }
]

Am I:

1. Putting the values in wrong?
2. Am missing some other system setting?
3. Lacking and should add some more frames to my wallpaper?

Please let me know your thoughts and advice.

It's one year later but I also experienced the same thing. My sort of hack was the duplicate frames and put them very close to when you want the transition so fr example

[ { "fileName": "Commander_Light_Mac.png", "isPrimary": true, "isForLight": true, "azimuth": 70, "altitude": 5 }, { "fileName": "Commander_Day_Mac.png", "azimuth": 300.98, "altitude": 0.27 }, { "fileName": "Commander_Mid_Mac.png", "azimuth": 302, "altitude": 0 }, { "fileName": "Commander_Dark_Mac.png", "isForDark": true, "azimuth": 315, "altitude": -8 } ]

Commander_Light_Mac.png and Commander_Day_Mac.png are actually the same daytime file - it would always select the mid file much too early so I repeated it and put its settings close to sunset for my location and now it displays it all day and when the sun actually goes past 0.27 it will switch to mid.

So the hack is to basically repeat your images and put them UP to the next solar time otherwise macOS will switch too them too early.
