presumably it has a screen of some sort, which in a real TLR would be ground glass? Or some sort of focus aid for the viewfinder. Collimation is adjustment of the taking lens' focus so that when you set it to 5m and/or it is sharp in the viewfinder, then the taking lens is doing the same and taking a sharp picture. Not sure how much sharper it could get than what you have but might be worth a look, up to you anyway. Does it take 120 film? You can normally rig up some sort of 35mm adaptation using 3D printed parts - called sprocket photography. Kenzie's done this with at least one of his TLRs.
