Piggyback mount

Hi all..so im new to astrophotography and i bought a piggyback mount for my 9.25 celestron cpc. Problem is when i put my dslr on with my samyang 14mm wide angle lens the only one i have for astro pics. The end of the ota obstructs my view and shows up in the photo..i need to raise the camera higher so the ota doesnt obstruct my view..can anyone help me get around this problem. By the looks of it i probably have to raise the dslr about 100mm somas not to see the end of the ota. Im dissapointed. The piggyback cost me $50 from sirius optics and i cant use it. Also i bought a zwo planetary cam and when comnected it to my brand new laptop with ssd drive usb 3.0..just using the skycam wide angle it keeps freezing for a few seconds every 5 or so seconds..what am i doing wrong or is it faulty camera..also.its color but captures come out b/w.
