I get the stations on 222 fine unfortunately the major networks are at 316. I am currently pointed at 304, I don't fully understand True north versus magnetic north. if I point the antenna at around 340/350, I can avoid the stucco which is only on the front of the house. Also, I put the antenna as high as possible in the attic which means it is near the peak of the roof, is it better for it to be 5 feet lower. I believe the house is wrapped with Tyvec wrap.

If you have not already tried, try pointing your antenna northwest, towards the weaker stations. And try several locations in your attic, "looking" not through the roofing materials but "looking" through the siding if possible.
Attics on average lose roughly half the signal. Attics in houses with a metal wrap or in a stucco house can loose much more of the signal.
