The process for aligning a turret is fairly intensive especially if you have never done it before. You need to find a maintenance manual that explains it step by step. The turret is actually A axis and needs to be unhidden. Then, you manually job the turret back and forth and read the encoder counts and center it so it locks right up to the coolant nipple.
This is very broad overview of it. I know 10x the amount of information about working on mills than the lathes. I have done alignments but its been a bunch of years...
