Turntable adjustment


I've recently acquired a Technics SL-QD33 turntable with a p-mount cartridge. Anti-skate is factory set and non adjustable. Also, its fully automatic. Everything worked fine with the stock cartridge, but I wanted to upgrade so I purchased the Grado Prestige Green cartridge, which has improved the sound.  However, now when I start to play an album, the tone arm no longer places the stylus in the groove, thus, it slides off the record. What can be done to address this issue?

The arm does not provide for any sort of balancing of weight. It does however, have an adjustment for VTF, which I checked.
Cleeds, thanks for the advice. Based on your questions, I went back and adjusted it from the fixed 1.25 to 1.5, and bingo, the stylus landed correctly and smoothly on the record.

But I will look into that VTF scale for the future. Thanks to all who helped me out.
Millercarbon, given the fact that the turntable didn't cost me a dime, the money I spent on the cartridge was well worth it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for your genuine concern of my audio spending choices.
