The party I highlighted in red will happen if you put the engines on the tilt locks and then let the engine down on it and retract the hydraulics until it stops. The part I highlighted in blue sounds like your tilt tubes are hanging up slightly on the tilt bushings. The engines should be balanced so they want to fall downward with some force. If you remove the foot and go to trim the engine down, it will pull the trim pistons in because the engine is now off balance.
