Having difficulty installing Grado cartridge on a Rega turntable

I'm trying to install a new Grado Sonata 2 cartridge on my Rega RP3 turntable. I'm replacing the Grado Sonata 1 cartridge which was installed by the dealer who is now inaccessible. I understand Rega and Grado are somewhat incompatible. I'm having all sorts of problems installing the new cartridge and need help. It doesn't behave like the old one.
Does anyone know of a Rega service person in the Long Island, New York area?

I had a Grado Sonata that I was quite happy with, now I've got a Grado Master with my Rega, and I couldn't be more satisfied.

Good luck.

Bent how? What exactly are you seeing? (There's a reason I'm asking.)

It's bent right of center at an angle.  Not straight up and down

Not sure about Rega but American Audiophile in Lynbrook is familiar with Grado.
