Ok, talking from experience here , it could be a number of things.
1. when you plugged in your coordinates, you left it Nth instead of Sth or + instead of -
2. you haven't taken into account day light saving
3. Where the mount clearly says to face it to the North, you have done so, instead of facing it South.
4. You've chosen the wrong star during your alignment.

Astronomy allows one to have a myriad of "Doh" moments.
They reckon it's character building. I say BS. It just makes me feel like a dill.
