Ortofon 2M Red Alignment Issue

So...I was trying to align my Ortofon 2M Red and I spent about an hour trying to get it right...the thing is, I just can't get those two points aligned at the same time...Every time I align one, the other gets messed up...here are a couple of photos from my current situation. My question is...is my alignment enough or should I keep trynig?

What kind of arm are you using? Are you certain that the pivot-to-spindle alignment is correct? The most accurate gauges use a mirror to align the cantilever/stylus, while a paper gauge can only align the stylus and cartridge body. The Mint and Wallytractor are good examples of mirrored gauges.

The reason I'm using this protactor is that I saw some using it to align the same cart in the same TT
