The first thing is to make sure your polar scope is orthogonal, you can do this by tipping one leg of the mount and pointing the polarscope at an aerial or something, then rotate your RA Axis to make sure the Aerial stays central, if it doesn't you will nbeed to adjust the little grub screws on the polarscope. Incidentllay you'll need to rotate the Dec axis 90 degrees in order to see thgrough the polarscope. (Pretty sure I have the right axes here, it's been a while since I have done it as I now use Polemaster.
NO POLAR ALIGNMENT IS NOT ON ANY DISTANT OBJECT. It needs to be done on the pole star (Polaris), because the sky rotates around it.
You need to know where polaris is at any given time as it too rotates around the pole 1 degree away, so you need to get that accurate.
My website explains how to do it (scroll to item 6)

Hopefully you also have a manual, though my experience is they are often basic and assume prior knowledge.
Hope this helps
