I would start by moving the entire assembly east 1 degree on the mast. Then repeak my south sat. At that point go to the furthest western sat you can see and gently push up on the dish, then pull down. Did signal change? If so note which way increased signal. Now go all the way out east and do the same thing. Did you receive opposite results? If so move the entire assembly on the mast in the direction of pushing up increased signal. Repeak south sat and check again. Repeat this process until pushing up and pulling down cause a decrease in signal. This means your dish is centered on your south sat.
At this point you now need to check all your sats for signal levels. Adjust only dish and motor elevation at this point to achieve optimum signal. In basic concept dish elevation shapes your arc. Broad/flat or high center. Motor elevation sets where in the sky you are looking. If you are tracking that broad of an arc at this point you are not far off so small movements.
