when you make any family that is going to be parametric i always start with adding reference planes/lines then add dimensions and parameters. flex these to make sure all is working how you want it. when adding lines constrain them to the reference planes/lines. have a look at what i did to your symbol. i only did the one side. even with the ends of lines, use align to align to the ref line.

hope this helps
