It shouldn't be confusing. Dec drift is the indicator of not being perfectly polar aligned. Hence you adjust the appropriate axis to eliminate this drift. Which adjustment (alt or az) depends on which part of the sky you are pointing at. What makes it difficult is there seems to be other factors at play (but not PE )
