The template as you sent has a total project duration of 289 days. The finish date is set at August 24, 2015 and the calculated start date is July 17th, 2014. If I shorten the durations of tasks to align with your screen shot, I can accomplish what you show with a SNLT constraint on task 3.
With a project scheduled from a fixed finish date, the Start date of the project is calculated. Without constraining every single task you cannot accomplish the 289 days of duration starting on August 25.
So, what is the overall duration of your project?
A couple of other comments - all of your outline is one level off. The "A Project Name" task should be at line zero (Project summary task) and all other tasks should be out-dented by one level. I also wouldn't save a baseline in a template - leave the baseline values blank. I have re-set the tasks in the attached revised file
