Finder Scope assistance

Hi all

After years of being fascinated with space from a young age, my partner surprised me with a SkyWatcher Heritage 5" Dobsonian for Christmas. I'm loving looking around every night and will forever remember the first time I got a glimpse of both Jupiter and Saturn.

The only problem I am finding is that the red dot sight that comes with the scope is too low, very hard to see through and very hard to align with what I am looking at. I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how to align a red dot sight like mine?

I was thinking of purchasing this red dot scope (below hyperlink) becuase it would sit a little higher and may be easier to see through (instead of fumbling amongst the stars)?

Loving this forum and very much looking forward to learning about astronomy.
