Hi Robert, it looks like you need to rotate your starting object so it is oriented perpendicular to the curve's starting direction.

Your object is oriented in this direction:



But that is not aligned with how your curve is formed, you need to rotate your object so it is in this type of direction before arraying it:



The difference from my example is that the one I showed had the curve start direction going along the z axis direction same as the object's normal:



If you're still stuck please post your .3dm file so I can show you how you need to rotate your object.
