How to center the QHY dovetail flange?

Hi all,

I've recently purchased a QHY268C (my first QHY camera), & I'd have to say I'm a little bewildered with the whole dovetail flange setup .
Being used to a threaded interface, the dovetail/flange with the three thumbscrews seems to be a system prone to issues with centering & tilt.
Is there a trick to setting this up or is just purely trial & error. My first light images are clearly off centre with significant image tilt.
Any guidance from QHY veterans would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Tony
