I'm hinging my SS60 and i was wondering <span style="color: #ff00ff">what is the best way to set them up?</span> Should i line the pivot point up with the trailing edge and V shape the control surface or back set the pivot point and round the control surface.

I figured "to set them up" applies to the hinges as well as to the shape of the TE and LE of the surfaces.
Your sketch does not provide for the method of installing the hinge points.
The hole into which they go in should be drilled right throught or if being a dead end then a venting hole should be drilled where the tip of the hinge will be in order to provide for the cement to come out.
Cement is applied all around the inside of the drilled hole and then to wet the hinge for about 2/3 of its length from the tip and surplus cement is removed from the hinge.
When inserting the hinge it will act like a piston and rotated back and forth while being inserted.
The rotation assures that the cement is well distributed all around the hinge.
The surplus cement comes out the vent hole instead of coming back toward the hinge axle.
Make sure the hinge has been cleaned from any trace of oily substance before applying the cement.
Use acetone or equivalent on a clean piece of rag. Use gloves as appropriate to avoid contact from your finger skin to the acetone.
