Single custom home page slider confusion

I’m sooo close that it’s starting to get frustrating. So here:

I have a home page set at the default template and built with a custom layout which does two things:

Non logged in users see a slider along with the status icons. Once registered the home page layout changes to a different layout.

This works except I can’t get the slider to position correctly. If I use the General Settings to configure the page and show the slider then it positions just as I need it to which is flush with the page. I left this enabled on the site link above.

The way this doesn’t help is that my page calls the same slider which is not flush like the one above. In addition it stays when logged in users visit the home page. So is there a way to configure the slider to respond the same when called as a “shortcode”?

Any responses appreciated.
