Make sure you have the trim straps set to maximum power then minimum power when checking line lengths with the bar pulled all the way in, if the lines are still not at equal length they are stretched.

Koma there are no other adjustment knots under the floats there are only the ones on the pig tails I have now set it up to have equal line length with the kite on full power and the bar pulled all the way in just seems weird that the rear lines would be that much shorter out of the bag like that.

Yeah definitely weird.
Were the kites brand spanking new or ex demo?

The frontlines stretch during the first sessions.
Its normal and can easily be fixed.
Line stretching can cause the kite to fly in a way its not supposed to. Leaving the rider the feeling that the kite doesnt fly aswell as it did the first session. Thats a shame ofcourse.
I think every shop owner/seller should mention this issue to the buyer:
After a few sessions check the lines by this simple method described above to have your kite fly as it was supposed to fly.

Ok, the centerlines have stretched, and a good way to solve the issue is to shorten the centerlines.
That can easily be done using the 'centerline adjuster', which is located directly above the depowerstrap:

Undo the knot, place it higher up the line, your centerlines are now shorter.

goodluck
