Thanks Dave for your help I found out that the dovetail for the Meade is 87 mm long ,the EQ6 saddle is 97 mm so the Meade dovetail was not fitting the EQ6 and the locking screws were locking the Meade dovetail to two flat sides and not in the dovetail it self which allowed the ota to fall out of the mount when was on it side
Again thanks
