1- Get into the proper driving position.

2- Lean to your left so that your left cheek is pressing up against the door window. Then adjust your driver side mirror so you can just barely see the edge of the vehicle.

3- Lean to your right so your head is right in the centerline of the vehicle, adjust the passenger side mirror so you can barely see the edge of your vehicle.

4- Center mirror lines up straight back.

5- What blind spot?
I'm guessing you cut and paste, so you're not to blame exactly as the idea might work, but maybe try leaning to the right in this instance
