See the idea in action
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
A mistake to avoid
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
