Does anyone know how to collimate this little scope as the focuser is only 20mm or 3/4 inch
It came with one eye piece

Yes many scopes have a "cover plate" over the mirror, my old Skywatcher has (shroud, material to cover a deceased person
)
get what I got from ebay, simple, 1.25 to .965 adapter
Then use any laser colimater
