A  quick question, apologies if it has been covered earlier in this long thread:

My CEM70 is often persnickety about doing the rotations in the polar alignment assistant, so I usually check "Manual rotation". When I get the nice triangle in the PAA, the alt-az adjustments don't move it the star WRT the triangle. Is it expecting that the mount has returned to the zero position before clicking "Refresh"? That would be a bit odd, since it's plotting the triangle on the third image, which is at 60° RA from zero, and I'm prompted to select a star there. (I don't know if clicking on a new star even works once you've clicked "Refresh".)

My CEM70 has also  been rather persnickety about parking and returning to home position in the past, I know that Jasem looked into this for iOptron mounts at least once but I'm rather chary about letting it smack into the tripod again to discover if the problem still exists so I have the "park afterwards" checkbox off too.
