It seems to me that my rear blade is almost impossible to hookup if it leaning toward the QH. Did I figure something out or was it just lucky that leaning uphill toward the tractor is easier. I have to say I don’t attachments very often.

The easiest hook up is likely to be when the plane defined by the attachment points of your implement are parallel to the plane defined by Quick Hitch attachments points. If the implement is leaning away or towards the QH or the implement is rotated with respect to the QH you will likely end up off the tractor wrestling with the implement.....

This is where a QH with top-n-tilt really shines. It's night and day easier to get on/off an implement when you can angle the QH any way you need. I still wish I had a large, flat area and preferably covered for implement storage, but failing that top-n-tilt is a game changer.
