1) You need to average over *all* C12-H2R bonds.
2) The lipidscd calculates the angles with respect to the Cartesian
axes (basically assuming your membrane is aligned with the axes).
3) You need to make sure you are using the 'dotangle' mode of
'vectormath' to ensure the vectors are properly normalized.
Hope this sheds some light on your issue,
