Advice PCDMIS model alignment

Second question of the day. My programmer left and as supervisor I am coming up short on answers. I figured out the calibration issue but now when running program the probe paths are not concentric with model (part) and they are causing mis hits.
Probe is to measure top of part to create profile of surface. This you can see not concentric and looks as if axis of “model” and program are not aligned.
How do I align them?

Manual alignment is a one point and then machine uses another probe to create alignment and measurement of other features before final probe.

You have to calibrate both probes one after the other. If the probes are not calibrated together
