Hi Elyse,
The small scope is the finder scope. The objective is going to be in a threaded cell that is turned until focus is achieved. The Moon will be up soon, so if the sky is clear take it outside, get the Moon in focus and lock it off.
Take the main scope outside and find the Moon. It might be a bit tricky but stick with it. When you find the Moon and have it in the middle of the eyepieces field of view, move the adjustment screws on the attached finder scope to centre the Moon. If this is not possible tonight it might be better to do this exercise during the daytime using an object that is a long way off in the distance. Just be sure the scope is not pointed in the direction of the Sun or you will damage your scope and eyesight.
What size eyepieces did you get with the scope?
