I would suggest a change in how you go about it.
If you are going to drift align, do that first. Unless they have changed the setup since I had a CPC mounted scope, you can fool it to get the RA drive running. Start with the alignment process with a one star align, simply hit enter without aligning the scope on any star and the drive will start running.
Once the drive is running, manually point to a star low in the east to drift align the altitude, then one at it's peak near the celestial equator to sort the azimuth.
Once you have done that you should have a pretty fair polar alignment, switch the mount off and back on again and do the star alignment properly. If you move the mount after doing the star alignment IMO it is best to redo that alignment, better again is to get your polar alignment sorted before doing the star alignment for goto at all, saves wasting time doing it twice.
