Check that the eyepiece pushes *all* the way in, that can be a common problem with not achieving focus.
Can you take a photo of the focuser end of the scope with an eyepiece in it?
How much travel does the focuses have (how many cm approximately does the focuser move the eyepiece in and out of the scope)?
Also, for alignment, point the scope roughly south, and choose 1 star align and choose sirius, and point it at sirius, which is a very easy to find star. But get the focusing sorted out first.
You will be in for a treat once you get focus, this is what the moon looks like through your exact scope:
