Eastwood said:OK that makes perfect sense! So that being said do you recommend that I put the elbow in on the left side to even up the tension or should I lace with both elbows out?
Elbows both “out” 45 : 55
left “in” right “out” 49: 51
putting the left elbow “in” the spoke tension is more even but my worry is side to side strength because each side elbows are both facing the same direction. I’m not sure if that should be a concern of mine?
Use the more even tensioned, more symmetrical spoking. You can lace all on the same side of the flange with radial or cross-1 patterns, so use that to your advantage. It doesn't matter which side of the flanges the spokes emerge from, but it matters how symmetrical they are.
