Sequence below
Example stars ( Atria and Hadar )
Star alignment stars choose Atria (1st Star) and Hadar ( 2nd Star )
Polar alignment choose Star Atria ( closer to meridian)
Do Star Alignment > alignment successful > error shown
Select Polar Alignment > iteration process
Do Star Alignment > alignment successful > error shown ( Error should be reduced)
Select Polar Alignment > iteration process
Do Star Alignment > alignment successful > error shown ( Error should be smaller again )
And so on ..............
As soon as you adjust the Alt and Az bolts in the Polar alignment iteration process , your Star alignment has been affected by this mechanical change in the mounts orientation. That’s why you have to do a Star alignment again
Hope the above makes sense
Cheers
