Congrats on your new scope. I am in the same boat so dont feel alone. I have recently got a EQ3 mount and am learning my way around it. To me it looks like it is set up ok. Really the only advice i can give it to make sure it is balanced and level. Slide the scope along the tube rings and adjust the counter weight if needed. It will make things alot easier when you release the clutches other wise it can swing down quickly(as i have found out). There are lots of Polar alignment posts to help with your viewing.
Good luck with it
