Like Plemans mentioned, seems like placement and possible how you have them placed is causing them to Daisy Chain instead of configure in Start formation.
Try moving them farther appart and try turning them OFF and back on in sequence. I usually start with the farthest RBS first, then turn on the closer RBS lastly.

Possible how they were placed and then powered on in sequence. If the RBS are too close to each other rather than the RBR then diasy chain will take place and you see that the RBS will connect to the other RBS. Placement and distance from the RBR is key.
