VPI paper alignment jig

I just took possession of a new VPI Classic.  The alignment jig that came with it is paper and really looks like an afterthought.  I set it on my table but it doesn't come close to fitting snuggly and doubt it would give me decent results.  I assume at this point the METAL ADJUSTABLE alignment jig I've see in the VPI set up video is a $60 option worth paying for.

I'm new at this any help would be appreciated.

I also recommend a Mint Protractor.  It's mirror surface and alignment lines/curves to prevent paralax is worth it.

"I gave them the serial number and VPI stepped up to the plate and is sending me a "no cost" metal jig ...read zero dollars!  They didn't even ask for shipping!"

I thought that might me the case. VPI is an excellent company, but they have a lot of dealers. Some good, and some not so good. A few dealers were pulling the alignment tools out of the boxes and selling them separately. Its not VPI's fault, of course, but its nice to see they did the right thing and just gave you a new one.

 VPI confirmed the paper alignment tool is what is included with the Classic.
