Don´t be such a girl! Be a bigger and better girl!
I´m sure, following from you previous posts you marked the position with a marker, tippex or other medium. ( I was tempted to state other items but do not wish to appear sexist )
Re-set and try again.
I´m assuming you do not have an inclinometer to set the dish angle, so best thing to do is go back to where it worked, then, make slight adjustments of motor angle and dish angle until you see further round the arc.

Make sure the "installer" knows what he is doing. Not all "dish fitters" are competent enough. Seen many motorised installations installed by "specialists" who don't have a clue or dabble.
My advice is to start by asking questions.
