8SE and new wedge

Hi guys,
Just bought the wedge today. Have always done alt/az with starsense and works each time. Now with the wedge added on, is this the correct approximate telescope orientation and setup until I learn proper alignment.

Regards
Kon

I think the SCP should on the same axis as the scope/star sense.

Wedge setup

Thanks, disregarding the ota, is the mount setup correct as starsense auto has a different align process in wedge mode.
