I'm a bit bummed that everything is so poorly adjusted given assurances to the contrary at the shop. Oh well, such is life.

To get it very close to the correct position, drill a small hole, dead centre in the end cap. Fit the end cap to the focuser and look through the small hole to position the secondary.
It will all come together.
When I first got my reflector I had some trouble with collimation. With a bit of practice it will take you less than one minute.
