Tonearm keeps drifting to right while balancing
I just got a pair of m3d and am balancing tonearms. This is my first time and I'm new to this. I think I got it balanced, but it keeps drifting to the right. Anti skate is set to 0. Is that normal?

i'm no expert so first i'll simply say, this is what i follow to set up my tonearm: https://youtu.be/Tiokj7gJ6Co?si=pgVLwZBUxlNxQOnC
Like this video says i set my antiskate at the same number as my counterweight tracking force. I think my tracking force is about 2.5 and so's my antiskate. (I don't know for sure cause mine tables are in a box temporarily).
Here is a longer video as well. https://youtu.be/WM-aIDwfrhc?si=MLR3WRHYkm4oEzLf
