If your dish is off, adjust the dish not the receiver.

All you can correct with the receiver settings is a slight azimuth error. If the problem with your setup is that you are always a little east, or always a little west , of the perfect Q value, then you should adjust your longitude in the USALS section of antenna settings until the dish moves to the correct position . My CS8000 is currently set 0.8 degrees east of my real longitude ( to make up for my dish aiming error, or wind gust drift , or whatever ) . After the next big storm off Lake Michigan, I may have to change that again, by a small amount.
Frankly , it's very difficult to precisely optimize the dish aim, and keep it there. By fudging the USALS longitude value, you can keep your system running well until the next time it's convenient to go out and adjust it at the pole.
Hope this helps.
