I'm far from the expert on this subject, but I've found it best to line up as usual onfinal first. When the wind starts moving you, think about dealing with it from two directions - first, since the plane wants to turn its nose into the wind at slow speeds, use your rudder to keep the nose lined up, while not getting too uncoordinated. Next, as the plane starts to drift with the wind, use the ailerons to dip that wind side wing just a little tiny bit to keep yourself positioned over that centerline. Then just balance it out as needed and go with the flow. You'll get comfortable with it soon enough.
