No adjustment to collimation since 2nd-hand purchase, have installed a focus/collimation plate since, also unadjusted.

Sorry, I have an RC8 and HAVE NOT attempted to collimate it because I think I'm too stupid. Mine came with a collimation plate (adjuster before the focuser) which I haven't touched since I bought the telescope used but I must check it one day because I know it has rotated slightly since I took possession of it.
If the focuser was removed to fit the collimation plate (which could be very different to what I have) wouldn't that require collimation because the plate may not be correctly set from purchase.
I am no expert, I rarely get to take any of my telescopes out and haven't been brave enough to adjust my collimation on the RC8.
