I'm not the greatest at these tricks, but I have some thoughts.
1. Don't set too high. If you watch a good symp torque, the bag isn't that high at the moment of the dex itself. Setting the bag higher makes you expend too much energy on the jump, and makes the osis awkward.
2. Set, then jump. Two distinct actions. Don't try and meld them into one, cause that doesn't work.
3. For big apple, don't rush your spin. It's a surprisingly slow spin. Combined with the previous two pieces of advice, you should come out of your (slow) spin with the bag around your waist height, see the bag, and then jump. Don't feel like you need to use all of the momentum of your spin to carry the symp torque. You want to use some of that momentum, but you don't need all of it.
Hope this is of some use.

Re: Symposium Torque
I've hit Symmp Torque a bunch of times on bs, and Big Apple on one side... and I agree with everyone else's tips, but I also wanted to add that you should turn your clipper into an osis very quickly after the set and just let your torque spin you into the osis (Osis is as cranked as possible). Like, my osis stays in one spot the whole time after the bag is set. I think crank helps a lot, so I guess I'll add that it helps if you have good crank. In fact, if you have good crank and you aren't hitting Symp. Torque, you're wasting your crank
