I'll end this with "there's probably a way to fix this problem in the laser software", like in this pic.

These settings, 'machine zero position' and 'laser head relative position' likely will take care of alignment issues, as long as you figure out what does what!
But as for me, when I got this machine, I needed to use it badly, and the learning curve for backlash adjustments, power & speed settings and all that
were eating up enough of my time! I just came up with a workaround that works for me...

I've noticed most Chinese laser software is somewhat similar, I'm sure there are setting preference choices like
these in all of them...
