Obviously you still have set your tripod level with the front leg pointing True South ( not magnetic south ) and then set your mount head to the “home position” before you can Star align and polar align
Question - do you have a reasonable view of the Sun overhead at around midday on your balcony ? If yes I have a procedure to find accurate True South to align your tripod. If not then you will have to use a compass with magnetic declination which is not very accurate due to the amount of steel in structures etc...
