C8+ on an ultima 2k mount

I have recently purchased a U2k mount that I mounted my C8+ classic orange OTA to. Celestron said this can not be done because of calibration errors but of course I did not listen to them. I did, however, notice that when I used the hand controller to set the 90 degree position for polar alignment on a wedge, the scope was not close to being parallelto the fork arms. The goto was not even close. When I eyeballed everything I was able to get objects in the FOV of a 25mm ep. Can someone tell me if it is possible to calibrate the encoders so I can get the alignment more accurate on a regular basis.
Thanks,
Alex
