Aurios and Tungsten balls


I recently got a set of Aurios( the small ones)1.0 which came with the Tungsten balls for each device. Are these balls supposed to be just placed on top of the Aurios. I find that the balls will not be centered but will roll to one of the sides of the Aurios off center. Should the balls be used or should I not be using them with the little aurios. Thanks for your help.

Tbg, is it possible to turn the Aurios upside down, so that the tungsten ball seats itself in the small opening on the "reverse" side of the Aurios? Or, would the function be impaired when turned upside down?
Lastly, where is the source of these balls at a modest cost?
Tbg, Thanks for the info regarding Aurios.
I have been using an anti-slip isolation pad from Audiogon member Rcreations beneath each Aurios 1.0, and, in some other systems, an additional circular vibration absorbing footer (no name on this footer) on top of the Aurios, which is an exact fit within the upper rim of the top of the Aurios. That way when I manipulate the mechanical switches, and buttons on my components there is no tendency for slippage with the smooth machined Aurios surfaces.
Although I have not done any perfectionistic, comparative listening tests for these extra layers touching the Aurios, there is a clear, musical reproduction which is very enjoyable in any system with the Aurios as part of the support system.
