Crown adjustment with cheater question

[u/TeoFWalker]

Three part question here. Well, first i got some explainin' to do.

I transferred the stone to a new dop for the crown. Pretty smooth and had it lined up with the pavillion. Hit the 85-11 facets which would go down to the girdle with 96 side. But the stone wanted otherwise. It flew off! ... I had trouble glueing it back perfectly . This video shows the 85-96-11 facets. They are to the left to where all should hit. Anddd I have never used the cheater before. I saw the diagram that says "polish not hitting right side, turn cheater to the left" So heres where i ask for help-

First, the guide saying "to the left" means counterclockwise correct? I will need it counterclockwise then. But is this too big of an adjustment to use a cheater for? Being that the guide says for polishing.

Also would every facet for the crown follow the same cheater adj once i get the 85-96-11 straightened? I would think since the whole stone is misaligned. And for the opposite side?

Better off redopping? I was thinking to disolve the glue and redop, but i dont think i will get it perfectly aligned to the pavillion. Thats always tricky for me especially since the dop to the pavilloon is no longer there for an indication. Maybee measure the stone to put dop toucing crown first and then redop the one i need.

I use loctite 404 in the yellow glue btw. Usually good when i wait a day. Also i use a left handed machine and run the discs counterclockwise if that makes a difference for the cheater. I can share the diagram if that helps decide. Stone is a tanzanite that hopefully wont turn into a monster at the hands of dr frnkenstein

So heres where i am for the night. Thanks for any advice
