Having difficulty installing Grado cartridge on a Rega turntable

I'm trying to install a new Grado Sonata 2 cartridge on my Rega RP3 turntable. I'm replacing the Grado Sonata 1 cartridge which was installed by the dealer who is now inaccessible. I understand Rega and Grado are somewhat incompatible. I'm having all sorts of problems installing the new cartridge and need help. It doesn't behave like the old one.
Does anyone know of a Rega service person in the Long Island, New York area?

@stringreen ,

Sometime people can be born with 2 same hands either 2 left ones or 2 right ones. Either way, that makes it more than twice as difficult to apply all kinesthetic or hands on activities even having the fact that there are more than plenty of youtube videos on how to set-up and hook-up cartridge to non-sophisticated tonearm.

there are much more variables on sliding over the label at the end of playback:

1. horizontally leveled turntable position
2. anti-skate
3. VTF

seems like it's already been done LOTS of trial/error and indeed professional help is desirable to stop 'torturing' cartridge, arm and records.
