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 was hoping that this might be a good time to start if I only had to make 1 or 2 adjustments."

If you've removed the cartridge and you're adding weight, you'll have to revisit ALL the adjustments. To get it correct, the VPI table and arm take a lot of time and care.
