You want it to be in the same position in the tube for both carbs. You will need to adjust at least one of the carbs to get it to match up.

I'll quote myself
I'll take a stab at it.
I used one for the first time a couple weeks ago, prior to that I had used the "tube to the ear" method, I wasn't too far off with the tube according to the unisyn. You need to turn the middle round thing with the bumps on the perimeter to let more or less air flow through, you don't want it too "closed" so the carb is starved for air (and the red plastic pellet is way high) nor to you want it so open that the pellet is too low. I set mine so the pellet was on the lower third, then move the thing to the other carb and adjust the carb until the pellet is at the same place it was on the first carb.

Those guys hit on the basics, but it's a little more complicated than that since you want to make sure that the carbs are synced BOTH at idle and when the throttles open. There are quite a few SU tuning guides on the web. I like this one:

But but, I only have two speeds idle and wide open. LOL

Uniflow is great, easy to use and very accurate.
 
ok so I adjust the middle part that makes seance so get it to idol some hoe
then adjust the tool so the red bit floats then match to the other carboarator

Not exactly sure what you just said but it appears you have a seance with an unemployed woman of ill repute to figure out what the problem is. Remarkably similar to my method.
