Does the finder scope fit to the tube with screws? If so, is it possible to losen them a little and move the bracket itself? On other scopes it's sometimes necessary to "shim" the mount with a piece of cardboard or similar. If you're able to take a photo or two of the finder and post them, it might help someone come up with a solution.
Oh, welcome to SGL. Good to have you with us.
Hi yes, 2 screws and a plastic mount - shims sounds a good idea - I hadn’t thought of that.

I’m really struggling with centering the viewfinder on the same scope. It’s like the viewfinder needs to be on too big an angle within the holder for the adjustment screws to hold it. It’s driving me a bit nuts - I just don’t seem to be able to fix it to the centred image in the scope. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks, just nabbed 1 remaining copy Amazon had for me & my 11 yr old son who got his (our) first telescope at Xmas.
