Don't despair, it is one of those things everyone finds really difficult until it 'clicks'.

Get the mount balanced well first.
I'd use the solar noon method to get the mount pointing south accurately, and use an inclinometer to get the mount set correctly, the inbuilt guides are often off by quite a bit.

Do those two things and it will be pretty close.
