Help Routing to Bastions

I’ve been doing speedrunning for a few months now, but my pace has been stuck at around 30 minutes at best for a while. And while I have been working on general improvement, one of my main issues is getting to the bastion. Sometimes I’ll be able to successfully E-ray (I know in theory how to do it) but a good chunk of the time I’ll either get no spike or a spike in the wrong direction. So I’m wondering if anyone has advice on how to better navigate to the bastion? Any tips at all would be appreciated!
