Collimation and the secondary mirror

I am trying to collimate my small reflector using this guide: http://www.galacticfool.com/collimat...ian-telescope/ and when it comes to the step of aligning the secondary mirror it says I should be able to see the clips on my primary mirror but all I can see is roughly 70% of the centre on the primary mirror. Is this just a sign of a poor scope which this is (I got it for free) or is this something that can be fixed with proper set up and adjustment?

thanks

EDIT* the telescope is 114mm x 500mm
