Secondary throttle plates don't open all the way

I have my TB off the car at the moment, and I was playing around with it today and noticed that if I open it to WOT, the secondary plates don't look like they're rotated 90º relative to the closed position. I reached in and I can move them the rest of the way by hand, but they spring back to being slightly off when I let go. Any input on this? I also have done the TB mod so I have no thermowax or any of it's associated hardware.

EDIT: The primary opens fine (90º from closed)
