Flax seed and fish oil confusion

Hi,
I'm taking 6 grams of omega 3's a day to help with rheumatoid arthritis. I take 2 fish oil pills a day (2800 mg fish oil, 1960mg omega 3's), and 8 flax seed oil pills a day (4,320 mg of omega 3's). I'm worried about the omega 6 and 9 that I'm taking in with the flax seed oil. I read that as long as my omega 3,6, and9 intake was equal; or I was getting more omega 3's, I would be okay. Is this true? At this point I'm getting 6280 mg of omega 3's and 1056 mg of omega 6 and 9.
Thanks,
Karen
