I had to add weight just behind the tungsten in what is normally dead space to compensate. I even filled in the space around the chunk of tungsten with a mixture of micro and tungsten powder and came up short. I would recommend putting as much weight in that counter balance area as you can since it would be easy to remove weight from that area of necessary.
