VPI Headshell weight question

So based on a recommendation from Harry (VPI), I purchased the 3g headshell weight for my Scoutmaster/Shelter 501MKII. It didn’t come with any instructions and it’s not obvious how to install it. Does it go between the headshell & cartridge or attach to the top of the headshell?

Also: I assume I re-adjust VTF so that it’s still within recommended range (i.e. Shelter manual) or is the whole point that I need to go over by 3 grams?

Thanks…

"I adjusted Azimuth and even lowered the arm height (looked like it was a tad higher at the pivot)."

Wouldn't you need to RAISE the tonearm at the rear after installing this weight? I am picturing a block of metal placed between my headshell and my cartridge. This would raise the tonearm at the stylus end. So, it would be lower at the pivot. No?
