First I have will put Al Tarf (the 7th Arabic manzil) where it ought to be, viz. at the heliacal rising of ALTERF (the End, λ Leonis) in August 11 (and not at the heliacal rising of ξ Cancri in August 6):

The preceding manzil Al Nathrah was 'ruled' by Beehive (Praesaepe), which in rongorongo times rose with the Sun in July 29 (210), precisely 13 days before Alterf.

Next manzil was then Al Jabhah (the Forehead), which could not be ruled by Regulus because both the manzil name and the right ascension number are pointing at η Leonis (Al Jabhah):

The heliacal rising of Al Jabhah (η) was also the place for the first moko glyph on side b:

Counting 118 days from April 17 (107) leads to August 13 (225), where in the night view the date February 13 would have indicated day 225 + 184 = 409 = the glyph number for Rogo (March 21) in the G text.

This was where the first star in Piscis Austrinus (or Piscis Notius) rose, viz. ι Piscis Austrini (329.4). I mention this because of its RA fraction, resulting in a date precisely 177 (= 6 * 29½) days after the star Al Jabhah.
