Tpoint calibration

I have been trying to use the skyx for the first time with the new paramount MX and am really having trouble with calibration. the mount is connected properly and so is the camera, it homes fine and the pointing seems to work pretty well but clearly my polar alignment is a little off or the scope shifts slightly in its rings when slewing because i don't actually get the target in the FOV. having said that, the scope looks like it is pointing right at the object in the sky. with that done, i try to do a model through automatic calibration and it keeps on returning error 733 the index is out of range. i have set it to look at the max area (10 FOV's) but it just doesnt work. occasionally it will find its location and add the pointing data. the strangest thing is that i did have a run that worked perfectly, i used the information to make PA corrections and now i can't pick up any locations again. i didnt make any changes between the runs ... the QHY9 does have a flipped image, could this be impacting it? i can't find a setting to address this.
autoguider calibration has been an issue too. ...
