Default lathe chuck centering--newbee

new to all of this

i have a jewlers chuck--lathe lorch model mm400

using adial indicator seems that the chuck has a high point about .005

it has 3 jaws--jaws have a screw that seems to be for tightening

i know the jaws are in the right sequence--that is jaw 3 is in slot 3
the points of the jaws are sharp and not worn

any idea on how to center the chuck ?


i have a very heavy hand and am not abourt to bang anything with a
hammer!!--i am assuming the head stock is centered--will check today
using collet


any direction really appreciated--i have taken this jaw apart to chek
jaw numbers

tia
