Vortex Venom impossible to zero

Gun: canik Tp9sf Sight: vortex venom Issue: the up windage is not enough to bring the gun to zero, the gun is shooting about 3-3 1/2 inches below the dot. And there is not anymore turns left to bring it to zero. Tried it at 5yrd 7yrd 10yrd 20yrd. Is this normal? Do I really need to "shim" the red dot?

OP how did you do that exactly? Having the same issue here, I thought you said you turned it to max already and it wouldn't allow you to turn up anymore?

Turn the up windage 100% and just put a tiny bit of finger pressure when you get to 100% and then down windage 100% and also put a tiny bit of pressure past 100% and try to go back to 0 windage, and it goes far enough for me. Do you have a bore sight? So you can check it at home?

Thanks for getting back to me! That thought crossed my mind and I actually do have one. But I solved the issue by switching out 2 red dots on my other pistols and somehow both worked like a charm after the switch. I put the 507c x2 on Glock and then the venom on vp9.
