Ok first you are to deep in the scalar ring. Bring your feedhorn back out till it is roughly flush with the ring. This will put you far closer to where you actually need to be. Second your lnb's are controlled by the servo motor for skew so..... unless you have the skew set properly for that tp you can very easily have no signal. These two could have easily been the problem with your original find of possible signal. I will look at the pic again but you may also have your feedhorn rotated incorrectly which would affect skew /the potential to correctly adjust skew.
