Your star wheel is not synced properly. The lifting lever has to lie between the arms of the star at the end of the chime cycle. The hammers should be completely at rest and not lifted up.

Sometimes you can just remove the chime cam drive wheel - see arrow - re-seat the hammers so they are in the correct position and re-fit the wheel. It's often just one tooth out.

All strikes should operate where right after the last hammer strikes the strike train stops.  Warning pins are set up either to rotate 180 or 90 degrees before interacting with the warning lever.

I agree with previous commenter.  Loosen a wheel on the back plate and rotate the chime a bit.

Also.  I set my westminster strikes on the 1/4th or 15 minute.  Its easiest because thats the one where the hammers will all fall down in a row 1,2,3,4
