Rega Exact 2 cartridge alignment qestion


I just picked up my new Rega P5 and Exact 2 cartridge yesterday from my local dealer. It was my understanding that this particular cartridge utilizes, and was developed for a three point mounting system when used with a Rega tonearm. I was told that you can use a two or three mount alignment with this cartridge (according to my dealer). I am new to analog and would like to know if any members have experience with the Rega Exact cartridge and mounting on the RB700 tone-arm? My dealer set this cartridge up with the two screw non-Rega style setup. I just want to get the best sound I can given the best set up procedure Thanks for you help!

Thanks for the responses! I just had my dealer re-install the cartridge using the template that comes with the table in addition to a digital tracking force gauge. Although, i just noticed that they have the screw heads on the top as opposed to the bottom. Looks as if it is lined up correctly. Is this going to be an issue? Also, do any of you use stylus cleaners such as LAST stylus cleaner or stylast on your Exact cartridge? I have already bought LAST stylus cleaner and Stylast, but I am not sure now if these solutions will damage my new cartridge.

My system consists of Wilson Audio Sophia's Series I,Velodyne ULD 12, Ayre Acoustics K1XE pre-amp, Mark Levinson 331 amplifier, Transparent Ultra cable throughout, Transparent powerwave 10 power conditioner, Apple TV for digital server, and a Meridian 562v for the the 20 bit DAC. I am using an NAD PP2 phone pre-amp, and am currently borrowing a REGA Phono MM. Most of my system was purchased used with the exception of some of the newer items and cables. Next upgrade will be a better phono stage. Thanks for all of your input! Analog is all new to me!
Thanks for all of the responses! I am now playing album after alum enjoying the music while the table and cartridge break-in!!! Thanks again!!
