I do not understand why N cannot be 3rd.. P can go on either side of N, so why can't N be in 3rd if it does not restrict the location of P

Paul's diagrams in the setup thread might help you see the issue with that, hbaezh:

If L is before J, and P needs to be between L and J, then P (and thus the NP rotating block) must be after L and before J. That gives us this diagram:

T - M - L - N/P - J

If you put N 3rd, T and J would be in the first two spaces, and P would be 4th, follow by M and then L. That violates the restriction given in the question, that L is somewhere before J.
