OK a few obvious things,
was the mount levelled?
Was the mount aligned to SCP?
how close were you when you aligned the stars, you may need to get a 12mm illuminated reticle (see bintel of Myastro or some other reputable dealers)?
if possible do a 3 star alignment? it does help to tighten things up.

Now on that topic of tightening things up. Thats exactly what has happened here, either the tube has hit the mount or the lever pinch lock wasn't on tight enough. this has happened to me a few times, and basically it was my fault. I beleive that this was your problem.
