I have a Dob so easy to set up.
Patience ... you will get there soon. I would have thought those mounts are easier than the usual equatorials.
Do you know a few of the bright stars to do your alignment on? Its a huge learning curve - the night sky AND a new scope, but wont be long before you are breezing along. Keep at it Gareth!!
