Bought my first telescope /eyepiece and this is what I see when I look through

It’s an Orion Skyquest xt6 and Svbony sv245, both bought off Facebook marketplace and when I look at Jupiter this is what I see, how can I fix this? Also am I just seeing the secondary mirror overlapping Jupiter? Anything helps thank you!

It’s an Orion Skyquest xt6 and I believe it takes some sort of Allen wrench but could be wrong

I bought an Orion Skyquest xt6 off Facebook marketplace and I think its missing the collimation screws. It has one screw that doesn’t do anything (I think). For two of the holes there’s not even a second hole two screw into but for one there’s a second hole but the screw is two big to screw into it. Am I wrong and I need to just buy two or three new screws and screw them in or is it messed up? Lmk if I need to add more pictures or details of anything.

I’m getting the Orion Skyquest XT6 if that matters, mainly want to look at planets but also would love to see some dso if possible with the same eyepiece, but if it would be a lot better to buy separately what would be some for planets and some for dso?
