Ah Pics!  
Have to agree with others.
I'm not even convinced the ring and pin is in, but presuming it is, the bottom of the pole definitely needs to go inwards to the tent.
Gently lift (only an inch or so) the pole (including the ring and pin in the end) and move it towards the tent. At the same time (Whilst the pole isn't digging into the ground) tighten up the adjustment strap. (There should be no forcing, no huffing, and no puffing! As you tighten the strap, "Coax" the base of the pole towards the tent, before lowering it back on to the ground).
This should be done for all poles, on each side, and it will form a tighter fly sheet (height-wise).
Also at the same time, each pole should be pulled away from the neighbouring pole (forwards or backwards), and adjust the very corners if need be. That should tighten up the base/SIG and flysheet length-wise.
At this stage, the only pegs in the ground should be the 4 corners of the tent, and possibly a guy at each end (some tents fall over, some don't!) Only when all the above is adjusted and looking right should the base and guylines be pegged.
