MY Heritage DNA Match advice please

#Post

Hi
In a quest to find a bio father for friend have transferred an Ancestry test to MyHeritage which has opened up a whole new lot of test matches. However, it is like learning to walk again and I am trying to understand the matches, as have identified clusters in Ancestry but struggling to find similar clusters in My Heritage or to figure out which line MyHeritage clusters belong to.
I have run the Auto-cluster tool which has given me 23 clusters over 97 matches, 16 matches were excluded and 155 matches were only singletons.
Where I am feeling confused is that when I review a test for say the 2nd highest match (which happens to be the only one I know where it fits into Ancestry cluster), it is not in a Myheritage cluster but has several triangulated matches.
I am not sure whether I should be concentrating on the clusters from the auto cluster report or looking at the triangulated matches as they are considerably different.
Wondering what methods others have had success with in MyHeritage?
At this stage I am looking at the highest match in each cluster, reviewing them and bringing up their triangulated matches into the chromosome browser to show the mass of triangulations. Then looking at any trees to see if I can see any similarities (no joy so far on that so far).
If anyone has any other suggestions of how they worked the MyHeritage DNA would love to hear them.
PS Highest match is 120CM, only 3 over 100.
Thanks
