You set the hop up so that it flies straight, personally I find the best way to do that is actually looking down the side or even firing from the hip. It will take some fine adjustments until you find the ideal point. Once you do then you have to zero your sights/scope to where its then shooting. It doesn't matter that your sights are currently off, it matters that its shooting well with good lift and that you can zero it at the effective range (just before they drop).

If you can't change the hopup gradually, then probably the small nub that presses the rubber is too hard. Try a softer one. But first make sure the hopup is clean. Clean the barrel and hopup with rubbing alcohol on the cleaning rod because if there is grease or silicone on the rubber it has the same symptoms you described.
