Yes while there is an adjuster for Altitude, there is none for azimuth.

I havent figured out a solution myself since i dont own two scopes yet. Although on the Skywatcher dovetail i noticed there are cone error adjusters, which could theoretically adjust Azimuth (since the dovetail will be facing sideways)
