With a bit of patience, you should be able to locate the moon in your scope without using the crosshair (finder). Use the lowest magnification - 30mm (largest amount of stuff viewable) to find the moon, then you can put higher magnification EPs in and see more detail. If the finder has screws on, you can then adjust the screws to make the finder have the moon in its crosshairs and then it should be of more use.
By find the moon, I mean, set the telescope up so it roughly points towards the moon and the move it (a small amount) and search.
