Counting 84 glyphs ahead from Ka3-14 (π) we could perhaps arrive at the position corresponding to that of Ga5-30. To begin with, however, we can first use my very early attempt at placing the glyphs on the K tablet in parallel with those on the G tablet (without any regard whatsoever to stars or numbers):

Here I aligned *Kb2-6 with Ga5-27 (not exactly at Spica):
Turning then to the nakshatra view we could guess ξ Andromedae (Adhil, the train of her garment) was close to the Full Moon at *Kb2-6:

Notably this position corresponded to FEBRUARY 4 (400). And at the time of rongorongo this was April 9 (*384). Which indeed seems to be a reasonable interpretation of what we can see in *Kb2-6.
But we should then change τ Aquilae to Altair in order to preserve the distance 84. Likewise should I correct my mistake of stating there was no star listed for FEBRUARY 4. Since the time when I documented the C tablet I have listed more stars:

| Numbers with asterisk (*) refer to possible glyph positions where no glyph is visible. |
Ka3-14 (55 + 5) + (21 - 14) + 16 + 14 = Ka5-14 (92 + 5).
From Ka3-14 to the end of side a there should be 92 - 55 = 97 - 60 = 37 days.
From Kb1-1 to *Kb2-6 there should be 20 + 2 + 17 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 46 days.
37 + 46 = 83 (not 84). In order to reach the wished for 84 days distance from Altair to Adhil it will be necessary to count with an empty glyph space at the beginning of side b, at heliacal Alkes (representing an empty vessel):
