"Newly designed lightweight AT-LT10 headshell
Included subcounterweight provides an expanded cartridge/headshell weight range of 14.0 g – 23.5 g"
extra counterweight should have been in the box, sometimes they are in a pocket in the packaging, you don’t notice them, and hopefully you still have it.

that’s a nice cartridge, it weighs 10.1g, you have the 13g headshell, and then the wires and screws (no bolts needed), totalling ____? near or just over the 23.5g max with the sub-counterweight added
you might need to move it to the other lighter headshell at 10 g is -3g, or buy an even lighter headshell as viridian suggested, so you can leave the pre-aligned V95 body alone
temporarily, you can make your counterweight heavier with a blob of this stuff
