Financial Modeling -- Consolidation and Linking

Noob problem; I have the following Operating financial model downloaded from Macabacus I'm trying to balance. I've hard-coded the data I'm pulling from a 3rd party for simplicity.

Now, I have the following questions/discrepancies:

1) In the original model, there's an "Equity Investments in Affiliates" line on the P&L. This would be row 276 here. If kept as "Gains/Losses" this would be "Distributed Equity Income in Affiliates," row 367 here. I assume it should be kept as the latter for consistency between the historical and pro forma P&L, correct?

2) In the Tax Schedule, I start with the Book EBT, while the original model provided a few additional lines before ultimately getting to EBT.

Other than that, I don't know where I'm going wrong. I haven't incorporated any Operating Lease adjustments. Any help would be much appreciated!
