I've looked again at your algorithm & found that it was more
incomplete than I thought.

The following is a version that'll give you the answer =A3\ = 3=A3k/4, =A3] 0, A3^ = 0.  The formatting may seem horrible. Just copy it to mathematica and run
it.


\!\(\*
  RowBox[{\(=A3\ =. ; =A3] =. ; =A3^ =. ;\), "\n", \(VectX = {1, 0,
    0}; \), "\n", \(VectY = {0, 1,
    0}; \), "\n", \(VectZ = {0, 0, 1}; \), "\n", "\
[IndentingNewLine]",
    RowBox[{
      RowBox[{"RotX", "=",
        RowBox[{"(", GridBox[{
              {"1", "0", "0"},
              {"0", \(Cos[=A3\]\), \(-Sin[=A3\]\)},
              {"0", \(Sin[=A3\]\), \(Cos[=A3\]\)}
              }], ")"}]}], ";"}], "\n",
    RowBox[{
      RowBox[{"RotY", "=",
        RowBox[{"(", GridBox[{
              {\(Cos[=A3]]\), "0", \(Sin[=A3]]\)},
              {"0", "1", "0"},
              {\(-Sin[=A3]]\), "0", \(Cos[=A3]]\)}
              }], ")"}]}], ";"}], "\n",

\), "\n", \
\(eqS = eq /. {=A3] -> 0, =A3^ -> 0} // Simplify\), "\n", \(Solve[eqS, {=A3\}]
\)}]\)
