noble weapons placement, TWOK uniform help sought

so, I am having a bit of a problem with two things..

the aft weapons placement on my noble class battle cruiser(configured as a sovereign class)

the TWOK uniform jacket.

in the case of the noble, I cannot seem to get any beams to fire from the pylon phaser strips, no matter what slot they're in for the aft weapons. is this due to the fact I'm using two omnis?(phaser, trilithium enhanced)

TWOK jacket..cannot seem to match the exact shade of red from TWOK.

thank you in advance for the help ^^
