Why did they have two SS CS teams in such close proximity of each other?
This diagram is from Wikipedia.
Why didn't they utilize the water tower (high ground)?
Front view of building shooter utilized.
Water Tower proximity to shooter's perch (right).

Dan Bongino suggested placing a big arse truck in front of the building. If you don’t have the personnel use objects to block the view. But those dumbass SS agents would just let Crooks climb on top the truck, lol

The real shooter was on the Water Tower, duh.

This is misleading because all of those trees are now full of leaves. Yes, they would have had a view of the roof from water tower, but not all of the rally imo.
The shooter tried to use the tree as concealment from the closest sniper team, but the second team able to get a clear shot.

The trajectory of the rounds say otherwise.

Incompetence is the obvious answer

Sure looks like someone was there in this video. Check out 7:11

If you’re talking about the shadow that the camera loses during a gust, your shooter would be roughly half the size of a car.
If you’re shooting from the water tower, why do it from the top, then have to scale down a convexed ladder in direct view of two counter sniper teams, when there is a railed platform for stability?

I still don’t understand how the bullet is so low in that photo taken from a low vantage point.
Eta unless that bullet is not the one that hit his ear

Did anyone see/witness a person(s) climbing down from that water tower?
There are some opinions that the two story building immediately behind the assassins position may have been a second shooter location. In your aerial photo of the two story building roofs find the more gray in color roof which would of been to the assassins right. Apparently there are photos out that show one of the second story windows is open on the gray roof building. Sound analysis give some indication that the first series of shots were more muffled giving the notion may have originated from inside the building.

You have to factor in the angle of the photo.. this was taken 4-6 feet below eye level of Trump. Rotate that vantage point to level and the bullet is on a gradual decline down and right at ear height.

Because they were covering different sectors. The team farther away from the shooter had their back to the shooter up until the final few minutes before the first shot.
The NYT (of all places, I know) put out a pretty good video of the shooting. If you go to about 1:20 it goes through the different layers of security and shows those two teams facing in opposite directions. Later in the video it shows footage of the one team actually turning around to start to ID the threat that's being communicated over the radio.

And doing nothing to remove Trump from the stage once it has been established that there is a credible threat. Nice.
A shooter on the water tower that hit Trumps right ear would also have hit his left ear. The shadow on the right side of the apex of the tower gets bigger and smaller at the same time that the shadow on the right side of the tank gets bigger and smaller, as the camera focus in and out. Interesting.

Couldn't be a SS agent cause the water tower has a slope on top.

There was a grassy knoll
