Origin Live Silver Mk4 tonearm install issues

I bought a Dr. Feikert Volare with a Origin Live Silver Mk4 tonearm.  The OL manual is for an older model of the Silver (which has differnt parts).  I am having a really hard time getting the arm installed and not getting much help.  The lack of documentaion, or how to videos, is frustrating.   Does anyone have this arm and can I ask you some questons?  TY!

Please share the issue.   I have owned many OL arms and they all mount in similar ways so I would be happy to help with your setup.

Can you post a picture of the arm board or plinth hole and the base of the tonearm?   If drilled for Rega the bottom threaded nut comes off, drop through hole and thread nut from underside of table.  The top threaded nut and lower lock nut adjust the tonearm height

I have an older model Origin Silver too. It was installed on my Sota table by Sota but I do find it a bit finicky. The arm swivels often even though it’s hand tightened (and tightening is very difficult as it’s hard to reach beneath the table to tighten). So that potentially an issue. I just keep checking and retightening. I also have issues with the ball-and-string anti-skate because there’s no numerical reference numbers and must be adjusted on feel and sound.
