I guess there's not really a better way to say it, is there?

At this stage of scope mounting, you are talking about setting the cant or clocking. I'm okay with this up to putting a level on the scope cap. The scope cap is not a stable or flat to trust a level. Sure, you can take the cap off and try not to rock the level off. Regardless, a better way "for me" is to have a plumb-line on the wall in line with your scope crosshairs. Go ahead and put a level on the rifle flat and align the crosshairs to the plumb-line. It's understood that the rifle is in a secure stand and held firm. You don't need a Level-Level-Level, just one plumb-line and one pocket level. I might add that I start the clocking check just by giving it a good eye-balling.
The video is good and other than this, anything else is "Personal Technique."
I also take a "wipe" test to see if I'm going to have to lap. There are times that I do not have to lap but I always check alignment.
Be Safe !!!
