With your neck problems, Sarah, your best bet is to replace the red dot finderscope with one that has a right angle ep' so you're not craning your neck or getting into awkward positions trying to look through it. Then, once you've aligned the finder so that what you see through it is what you roughly see through your main scope, you should be alright
Remember, your own comfort takes precedent here. You'll never enjoy using your scope if it's a pain (literally) to use.
