I’d look at options on fixing the finder – does the misalignment occur in the mounting bracket, the finder stalk or the adjustment screws?

I think it's in the finder stalk,because when I remove the dust caps I can feel the whole finder tube move and then I have to re-adjust it with the screws..The finder tube has a o-ring on it that seats it into the mounting bracket and it seems the tube slides in the mounting bracket a little bit as I'am pulling the dust caps off. I leave the view finder attached to the ota all the time. I don't know if it is just a poor design of the view finder or if I'am doing something wrong when I remove the caps. I try to hold the tube from moving when I take the caps off,but it always needs to be re-adjusted...Thankyou very much for taking the time to help a newbie...
