When I look through my scope (Vortex Viper 6-24×50) I see black unless i move my head far to the right to the point where I'm leaning over the whole gun just to look through the scope. Is there something I can adjust or is the scope faulty?

Well, you do have to put your e6e in line with the scope. Maybe not close enough to it. So you have probs, , my failing eyes, right eye dominant, I now have to sight with my left eye, shooting right handed.
Where your eye is in relation to the gun does not matter. Is your scope on backwards? Upside down? Cross ways? Maneuver your eye in relation to the scope until you get a full sight picture. Is you eye directly behind the scope? If not, the scope is bad. If so, watch a youtube video to see how to mount a scope.
New scope? Fat end forward? Place power on 6 and rotate eye piece in and out slowly at an object 100 yd away. You may need to move your head back and forth in order to compensate for Parallax. Read the manual or get it online. Sounds like Parallax is your problem. You are probably on high power looking at something close or your face is too close to the eyepiece https://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/what-is-rifle-scope-parallax/
