Hi Brian,
First, do it during the day.
2, use something in the distance to aim at, & note the one spot on that landmark you'll focus on.
3, do your first sighting through the RDF & then through the scope. Resight through the RDF & turn the first knob to realign. If the scope moves don't worry about it, resight the SCOPE & then see how you've done with the RDF.
4, readjust as needed.
This happens to me two with my own scopes too. If the movement is too touchy, you can tighten the Nyloc nut in the base of the little dobbie to firm up the action, just remember to back it off again. The altitude movement, up and down movement, it's a little trickier. Just be patient with the process. Doing it during the day helps reduce the frustration if done at night when you can have all sorts of pressures put on you to get going!
