"Beam diverter is open but no 3MHz on OMC, could be an alignment problem" - trend ZM4,5,6 alignment while trending H1:SQZ-OMC_TRANS_RF3_DEMOD_RFMON. If the alignment of any has changed, move them back slowly while aiming to increase H1:SQZ-OMC_TRANS_RF3_DEMOD_RFMON.

Found here:Troubleshooting SQZr from Ops wiki.
Slider values had not changed at all over the course of several hours but the osems had. 
Sheila called while I was setting up my ndscope to check the Osems and had mentioned that ZM5 likely didnt matter as it is ZM4 and 6 that get moved.

She had me clear the history on H1:SUS-ZM{4 & 6}_M1_LOCK_{L P Y}_OUTPUT before I  adjusted the ZM4 & 6 sliders.
H1:SUS-ZM4_M1_LOCK_L_GAIN were changed after turning up the TRamps for H1:SUS-ZM{4 & 6}_M1_LOCK_{L, P, Y}_GAIN
Then I cleared the History on those locking filters.

Once that was done I simply just move them back slowly while aiming to increase H1:SQZ-OMC_TRANS_RF3_DEMOD_RFMON as the Trouble shooting doc suggested.

Then as Sheila advised I ren SQZ_MAN through Scan_Alignment_FDS[105] wich further touched up alignment. 
After accepting SDF diffs.

We got back to Observing at 15:57 UTC @ 149 Mpc.
