Hi,
A quick suggestion.
Do all the collimating & focussing out-doors in the daytime.
It makes it easier, as the object does not move.
The following is a "just in case...."
NOTE: Do not point it anywhere near the sun or leave it un-attended at any time.
For collimating, find a telegraph post/TV antenna/tree? at least a kilometer away.
Use the 32mm eyepiece.
Find the object in the telescope, centre it & adjust the finder to centre it.
For fine tuning, use the 10mm EP & repeat the process.
You should be able to check if the focuser functions normally in daylight.
Easy as...
Happy New Year.
