this issue is more than just getting a proper chainline on the fixed cog, I want to be able to adjust my chainline back and forth using the inner and outer ring mouning points on the sugino RD2, so when I flip the hub, I move the ring to match. I do suspect this is the whole idea of the inner mount, and even the source of the name RD "2", so why not take advantage?

I switched from free to fixed last week, tried to move the ring like I used to do on the previous crank, an old Bontrager [poor mans omnium], but now with the sugino, it [the ring] hit my frame when on the inner mount. So I put the ring back on the main mount, went to a bike shop and made an appointment for them to move the crank out to the drive side with a spacer.
they did this and put the ring on the inside, but the ring came lose 2 hours [worth of riding] later. Ordinarily i would have shrugged it off, but since the shop was ignorant toward fixed riding and/or condescending to me, and did so before putting my ring on wrong., I didn't shrug it off for a while, and instead posted here in full adhd mode. '[typos bad grammar and all]
ps, I think the cheap sram chains I have been using are part of the trouble too.
pps. no need to change the thread title huh\?
