Try this:
Cut two V-notches in a cardboard box so the notches are on opposite sides and about 6 to 8 inches apart (to fit your scope on the 1″ tube portions as required).
Put a brick in the box to keep it from moving.
Put your scope in the v-notches and look through it at something on a wall 10 yards away. Adjust the scope focus as necessary.
Rotate the scope and watch the crosshairs. Adjust elevation and windage until the crosshairs remain on the same point.
This optically centers your scope to the outer tube to give you a known good starting point.
Now, mount the scope on your gun. Sandbag the gun well so it will not move around much. Aim at a target, aim and shoot like you mean it, and see where the pellet goes. It should hopefully be above or below where you aimed. If it is off to the side, see what changes you can make to bring it closer to center.
Changes might be flip one mount around (if two piece). Shim a mount. Carefully file some metal one dovetail after determining which part needs to move.
What you want is to not have to move the windage much to get it right on. Also, make sure your scope isn’t rotated such that when you line up the crosshairs horizontally/vertically your gun is canted.
I’ve found sometimes it helps to walk out in front of the gun while it is sitting on bags right after I’ve shot it. Sometimes it will look like something is out of line. If so, fix it.
Hope this helps.
Maybe a laser
how do i center the scope with the barrel bc i cant see the barrel my scope is kind of long
It is possible that the scope has come out of alignment with the barrel. If the mounts have come a little loose or you bumped the scope this could happen. If it shoots a touch left inside of your zero and right beyond your zero, alignment is a likely cause. Check the mounts.

My trirail and my one piece scope mount was off center and although I could zero in at a specific distance, closer and farther away shots would hit right and left depending if it was nearer than or further than the zeroed distance.
I used a thin piece of plastic to shim the scope mount on the rail after figuring out which side the scope mount was off.
To determine the center I used the frame and a jig with bolts to set the center.
