Are you turning the adjustment the correct way? If the cross hairs are high, you should be turning the adjustment in the "up" direction. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but this is how a scope works when trying to line up a laser bore sight.

When making adjustments with a scope you're moving the point of impact, not the reticle. Think of it as though you're trying to move the laser, not the reticle.
