Dish Offset Angle? w/ HH100 and receiver FORMULA

I am in San Antonio, Texas 78228
LA 29.42 LO 98.5
My system: a Fortec 786v3, with HH100 positioner with 36" dish.
Using Sadoun's formula I get the
positioner angle at 29.42,
dish elevation at 25.12
LNBF of -2.7 or Zeor, I need to recheck again.
Offset dish LNB angle????

MY QUESTION IS: do I have to consider the LNB ANGLE OFFSET OF THE ANTENNA as stated in the specs (it is not dead center with the dish), which in this model is 24.62 degrees?
If I do then where would I use this degrees offset in my settings. The positioner, the dish or do I have to consider it, I would think so?

I may power up today, since most of the time since I recd the system was installing the mast on a 20° sloped roof until yesterday. Finally went to the tire/muffler shop and had them make me a perfect angle for a permanent mount 2" diameter and with a little drilling I set it up. Also added turn buckles to the positioner and dish, this will greatly come in handy. Took some time to add, but well worth it later on.
thanks, art
