Stylus alignment help


I spoke to Audio Technica regarding the alignment of the styli they sell as combo kits as I have arthritis and my fine motor skills have been affected so I find alignment quite hard. They said they are aligned out of the factory when you buy the combo kit so just plug the new one in and tighten it up.
Being a trusting individual I put the alignment template on the platter yesterday and this is how aligned my new AT120Eb is... Am i right in thinking I need to break out the screwdriver and move this to the left a little? Or is this within a margin of error?  Hope the photo links work.

The line between the arm pivot and stylus is called ''effective length''.

The correct stylus position can be adjusted either by moving arm

pivot forth or back (SME method) or by moving the stylus in

the headshell till the stylus reach the point at which the right distance

to the pivot is adjusted. This distance determine the right geometry

as intended by the arm producer. By using headshells with

''movable'' 4 pins connector one can adjust the mentioned distance

as well the azimuth by turning the headshell around 4 pin connector.

When both adjustments are done the 4 pin connector should be

fastened by the included screw.
