Anti-skating on VPI arm?

I have a new VPI Aries 3 with a 3D arm.
The manual does not describe how to set the anti-skating.
In fact, it suggests not using it at all.
There is a filament line that leads from the arm, behind the VTA tower, to a counterweight lever.
I can't find a setup that works. The filament either rubs against the tower or the counterweight is not accessible or the line is too short.
Should I relocate the filament attachment ring behind the counterweight?
Anyone figured this out?

Trial and error for me. I'm not even sure if I have too much, too little or just the right amount of AS.

I'm using the Goldilocks method. When I send my cartridge to either Peter Ledermann or Andy Chong (sp?) for a stylus check, I'll ask if the stylus is wearing evenly. Based on the feedback I get, I'll adjust the AS.
