What have you done so far? You need to switch the the turret, hit G to switch to the tractor and fire to bring her in. A white circle appears around the MIP when you have a good target.

Supposing that you know know how to work with the tractor beam, all you can do is to reposition yourself again. There is at least a mission where I needed about 10 tries until I found a position where that damn tractor beam would lock on. Try to get closer, farter away and try to approach the MIP from a different angle.
