More Takahashi balancing issues

Hey Guys, me again with yet another balancing question.

So all my equipment now sits happily on top my mount, but when I use the 'classic' balancing method I used on my Newt I have noticed that the telescope isn't balanced in all directions. I remedied this on my newt by making sure that the focuser (with camera attached) was facing 'downwards', but I don't see how I can do this with my current setup.

I have a Tak106 with Orion 80mm short tube on top and a 7x50 finderscope on the Tak.

Thanks guys
