I have no help to contribute here, but feel your pain. I had a hard time even getting a Koetsu secured flat to my 10" armwand. The fact that it rides way back in the headshell for proper overhang causes issues due to first the blue dot (which I removed) and then the slightly raised "rails" flanking the screw slots -- either can result in torquing forces (and thus mess with VTA / SRA) when too far in front of the mounting point.
I was thinking the other day that if I ever wanted to try an Ortofon Cadenza / Kontrapunkt, whether those 3 points (really 2 points and a rail) would cause a mounting issue in absence of the blue dot.
I don't see discussion of the Graham's headshell, but so far I feel like this is the one less-than-brilliantly-designed piece on an otherwise superb and very universal arm. Will be very curious to hear your results!
