in alignment or flush
In this context, square means in alignment or flush as in the following usage:

Therefore, in the first sentence, the hips are no in alignment with the vertical wall of abc**™ device, so technologist should gently guide the hips forward by placing their hand on the small of the subjects back to make the hips align to the vertical wall.
