Hi Chino and welcome , you have not really told any of us what type / model / make of scope you have , to me it sounds like a Newtonion reflector ? Mirror at the bottom and focuser and eyepieces sticking out the side torwards the top ? thats sounds right ?
The cap thing sounds like the most possable cause of your problems
, forget the erecting prisim for now and enjoy the upside down , sharp views .
.
I will never forget a young man bringing his new scope up to one of our public nights ( so proud he was as well ) and he could not get a nice sharp view of the moon , I asked him to show me the set up , he did , and nobody had showen him that the clear plastic eyepiece cap needed to be removed first !!!
, he nearly fell over seeing the moon for the first time in a Month !!! , true story .

The only thing I notice is that even the moon bounces around in the eyepiece, probably from bumping into it with my eye. And I get a tired face closing one eye to look through after a while, lol.
