Don't lose sleep over polar alignment and drift alignment
I can't polar align due to a roof line and like you get confused by drift alignment and programs like Alignmaster allways choose stars that are also blocked by my roofline
Three things you need to do
a) make sure mount is level
b) make sure mount accurately set for your latitude
c) make sure mount head pointing as near as possible to true South (about 178 Degrees Sth) not magnetic which is 180 degrees
Then a guide camera and PHD will do the rest
