It's possible to get a little oil on the inside of the corrector from the baffle tube if stored vertically. I sotore mine vertically pointing up for that reason. I did a little wood rig for it. No drama a at all. Easily cleaned.

You should see a black line at the back of your secondary. That should point towards the focuser knob side when looking at the front of the scope. The three collimation screws hold the primary on its central pivot point. Just make it as level as you can without tightening it too much and finish collimation when it's back in place.

There should be some rubber/cork gaskets between the glass and the secondary cell as well so you don't pinch the corrector glass too hard.

Put the corrector back in place the way you've found it, facing out and same orientation with same shim positions.
