Thanks, I will look into that!
Spent all day (about 7 hrs) looking at drift alignment theory and trying to get my bearings. I understand it better now.

Yes, the encoders do not have tilt sensors to compensate for an out of level setup. So for a 1 degree tilt E-W you will have a pointing error of 1 degree in RA when referencing any sky object to the
