I think you might want to take a break from tuning and evaluate your full raw position and anchor.

I don't believe that aiming the point is really necessary for any kind of tuning unless you are string walking or full on GAP shooting.

Take some fletched arrows and move closer to the target until you can group them consistently.

When you reach that point then start to shoot a bareshaft in that group of fletched arrows and note it's location and tune from there.

It is possible to 'see' the shaft angle.  when I test any set of arrows, I do it from at least 20 yards and somewhere with any given bow there is a cant angle that will put the arrow straight under and in line with my line of sight.   I may not always shoot that bow that way, with some of my bows the more straight up I hold the bow the more up and away the arrow flight becomes, so my secondary visual snap shot will have to move to the bow side of things to accommodate.

I agree with mfg.  If your arrow is pointing left, move your bow hand to the right.  That's why it's called aiming.  You move your bow hand, or anchor, until you get things lined up the way that the arrow will go where you're looking. If your arrow isn't pointing where you want it to, move it.
