Elevation query

Just set up my 31" FC80P Fortec Star 80cm Offset Dish with HH90 motor and a Sadoun Standard Linear Single Ku 0.4 dB LNBF. My location is 29N 81W. Most southerly Sat is Nimiq 2. The dish elevation angle from the tool at Sadoun is 41 but the sat elevation is 56. Is there a difference? I have set up several dishes over time using the old hunt & seek method and never had a problem but for some reason I just can't get a signal. Tried from elevations 35 to 56. And the pole is vertical . Probably I have the LNB attached incorrectly. It is attached in a maner when looking at the dish diretly the cable is verticaly attached and the writing on the LNB is perfectly horizontal. I am replacing my old 18" dish. If I remove the LNB (old DirectTv)from that dish, will it work on this dish? Just to verify that I don't have a dead LNB. Any suggestions are welcomed.
