I have collimated my laser, but still have a similar problem to you!

I think there's a bit of play in how my collimator fits into the scope. Its a 1.25" collimator and I have to put it through a 1.25-2" adaptor for my newt. Some of the adaptors I have make it better than others. Or maybe my focuser is slightly tilted?

I also have an orion cheshire collimator. Took a while to get the hang of, but I feel that it does a better job.
