I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
The orientation of the panels definitely is not the issue, the pattern recognition between the stars for successful registration is invariant for rotation.
Probably still something is hard with your data, beta36 is able to register more data than the previous versions for sure, but it does not mean it will work perfectly or will register data that can't be registered for some reason.
Before asking you to upload the data so we can test it, can you set the star count in 3) to 2500 and show a screenshot of how many stars are detected in all the frames? You can make a screen shot of the analytical results in the frame list. And please also check the star map with the image viewer mode. Does it detect real stars or perhaps hot pixels instead of stars?
