The quick answer is that you place the top edge of the dot on the lower point of a diamond shaped target to index it more accurately. If you try to use the dot itself and center it up on a bullseye type target the best group you will get it the size of the dot. IE: 3MOA Dot=3 " group.
On the target I showed I was using the Right Edge of the Dot on the left point of the diamond, and looking for dead on at 100 yards. I was about 1" high but that was good to go for that rifle.
Please understand,,, This takes a little practice, but proper indexing of your sights on a target is the key to seeing exactly what your gun and you are actually capable of. This is true for ALL types of sights be they Iron or Optic, and once you understand how to do it your shooting will dramatically improve.
I am 70 next month and shoot mostly Iron Sights and Red Dot Sights and I wear glasses and have old eyes, none of which matters.
It's all about how you do it!
