New to scope adjustment?

Hey Fellas I'm kinda new to adjusting a scope and I think I screwed up. at 100 yrds I was about two inches off the the right insted of chasing the bullet I went two inches to the left should I zero my scope and start over or will I be ok? Thanks
 
We usually use a paper target to zero, pretty much because paper doesn't lie. So you determined it hit 2 inches off to the right on paper, then adjusted the scope to move bullet impact 2 inches left. If you do not shoot to confirm your adjustment you haven't finished zero.

Also, Welcome to the forum. Spend a few more rounds to assure you have a good zero and get an idea how well you, the gun and the load shoot at that distance before going on to longer distances or hunting. It may very well save you ammunition by assuring you know how your system and you may hit POA/POI.
