Not if you are motorized. The lnbf should be mounted so that the coax connection is pointed straight down when your motor is at 0. The skew is adjusted as the motor rotates the dish. The dish actually rotates while it is moving along the Clark Belt so with this rotation comes rotation of the lnbf. I get a feeling you are making this harder than need be.

Set your motor elevation and your dish elevation. Center your dish on your motor shaft. Roughly point your dish at where you believe true south is. Now with USALS tell your motor to move your dish to AMC 3. With a small tv and the receiver out at the dish and the receiver set for 12056v3256 start hunting for signal. Move the assembly east to west very slowly. I am assuming you are using the QPH-031 lnbf in which case you should be connected to one of the L ports of the lnbf and your receiver should be set to 10750 fo lnbf LO. Until you have the motor/dish assembly aligned I would not mess with any other ports on the lnbf.

Once you find signal scan in what you have and compare it to the channel listings on Lyngsat to determine which sat you are actually pointed at. You can adjust from there.

WOW for once I am the wordy one not Bill.
