Three things.
1) You might try sliding the lnbf back in it's holder.
2) It sure looks like the pole your motor is on, isn't plumb, although that could be an optical illusion.
3) It sure looks like your dish elevation is too low. Although the picture may have been taken when you were adjusted 5 deg less than the theoretical setting. Assuming that your latitude is around 42 (looks like that where the motor is set), then your dish elevation should be somewhere between 24 and 25 degrees. It looks like you are down around 25-30 range.
