Hello,

Looking at the size of the dish, it could well be an offset dish.
The mount of the LNA is likely not in the center of the dish.

Have a look at this wiki page about the different type of dishes:

It's tricky to properly mount a big KU dish to a Dishnetwork mount. I did it with a old Primestar KU dish years ago but it required a custom bracket to match the holes in the dish to the mount.

In my case with was necessary to have the pipe clamp upside down as to mate with a HH rotor.
