SME Setup With Slotted Headshell

I have an SME M2-12R but I've switched to a Fidelity Research FR-S/3 headshell for added mass. I have a Feickert protractor on the way. Do I just set up like a regular tonearm since I've done away with the fixed headshell? Set the pivot to spindle and then adjust the cartridge in the headshell to the protractor?

I would set the P2S according to SME’s specification by moving the arm on its "sled" mounting, and then adjust the cartridge overhang and offset angle by moving it in the headshell slots. This approach is consistent with other tonearms.
