Brian Hehe sorry I didn’t mean to offend you. Yes the polar scope must be collimated to the ra axis of the mount. It is necessary for its line of sight to be a true indicator of the ra axis pointing..

I expected something like that but i dont even know if the dovetail on my OTA can be adjusted. Can i just unlock the DEC and RA axes and move the scope until polaris is in my the FOV? Yes, its 5.5x2.1
