How can I modify this to work with L-Band Weather Satellites?

Hello! I'm trying to modify this 17.7 dBi Wifi Antenna to work with GOES, so far all I've done was add a rubber spacer of about 1.5cm in length(my local hardware store doesn't have a longer screw for this), and flip the secondary reflector around. So far my only success is receiving a frequency of 1593.1 MHz, and with 2 months spent on this project, I thought I should reach out to you guys for help. I'm sorry in advance, I'm still very new to this hobby, only success I've had was receiving a signal from Meteor M2-2, which didn't amount to anything since it was decommissioned. Thank you guys in advance! You're the best!

Here's the dish I purchased: https://ebay.us/m/uxK5gx

Also please let me know if there's another thing I should change, or if I should get another dish all together, I'm trying to save money for more hardware anyways, so any form of guidance is welcome!
