If it was a dragline I would have the drag drum be u/d on the left stick and boom as l/r on the right stick.

Your set up is similar to mine and Smallhauls set up. I have to leave my boom fixed at one angle. Scott has the throttle stick for his boom angle but it's turned on with one of the switches that I found out by accident when I boomed up into the cab I didn't see it happening because some guy was talking to me and I wasn't watching the boom.
Here's mine hope the dashes don't confuse you.I don't know how to put the diagram with out the letters bunching together.

LEFT STICK--------------------------------RIGHT STICK

--- not used-----------------------------------hoist up

swing left-----swing right------------------- drag in------drag out

------- not used ---------------------------------- hoist down
