Background Walking Animation

I’m not sure how to make my characters walk into a scene from the background. Here are some examples that I’ve done, but it doesn’t come out as I want it to. It’s taking it from the front left to get to the spot indications. I’m not sure how to fix it that way.

Example 1:
EXT. CAMPUS ENTRANCE - DAY

music ext_campus_day_busy2

@transition fade in

&KAYLA enters from left to spot 0.650 153 357 AND KAYLA is walk_talk_phone_neutral_loop

&ROSE enters from left to spot 0.677 217 351 AND ROSE is walk_talk_neutral_loop

@ROSE moves to layer 3

@JESS enters from left to spot 0.686 263 352 AND JESS is walk_talk_neutral_loop

@JESS moves to layer 4

&ROSE is idle_armscrossed_neutral_loop

&JESS is idle_armscrossed_neutral_loop

@remove Text Book Open Navy Blue from JESS

@pause for a beat

@speechbubble is 210 305 to 89% with tail_top_left

    KAYLA (talk_phone_happy_loop)
We just got out of our last class dad. We'll meet you at the airport.

Example 2:
EXT. HYDRANGEA LANE - DAY

@zoom reset

@transition fade in

music music_peacefulstringpluck

&KAYLA enters from left to spot 0.450 234 263

&ROSE enters from left to spot 0.416 196 274

&JESS enters from left to spot 0.434 268 266

@pause for 2

&JESS faces left

@speechbubble is 149 311 to 78% with tail_bottom_right

    KAYLA (talk_read_phone_neutral)
Okay, my dad said he's sending over his blue car we can drive to the airport.

@speechbubble is 190 256 to 80% with tail_bottom_right

    JESS (talk_excited_happy)
Awesome!!

@speechbubble is 134 263 to 77% with tail_bottom_right

    ROSE (talk_excited_happy)
Eek!! I can't wait!!

    KAYLA (talk_agree_happy)

What i usually do is
&mc spot x y z in zone 1 AND MC moves to layer 1 (here mc is off screen)
&mc walks to spot x v w in zone 1
This way their height will be same.
