Then if you open the Orbi app, and select on the Network Map icon, all the RBS should in be in a line and connected to each other and only the nearest one should be connected to the RBR.

Nope they are connected separately to the Router (RBR850) Maybe too many satellites in use?
Anyway, giving up now as it is obviously not going to work in Daisy Chain mode and there is no way to change that.

I'd turn OFF two RBS. Go with the other two RBS. Turn on RBS on and check the app. Them make sure the other RBS is farther out at a distance then turn it on.
You might try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
