Help setting up resonant orbit during gravity assist chain

So I’m trying to get to Dres using a K-Du-Du-Dr gravity assist chain (which I know isn’t totally necessary to get to Dres, but I’m trying to practice my gravity assists). I can get the first Duna encounter easily enough, but I’m having trouble setting up the second encounter on the following orbit. My ‘closest approach’ indicators are showing me encounters hundreds or even thousands of years in the future, which is not exactly helpful. Is there some way I can limit the indicators to just show the approach on the orbit that I want the encounter? I’m fairly confident I can get the assist, I just need to be able to see what I’m doing.
