When you're ballancing the plane, you're doing it upside down ... right?
I was balancing it right side up…. the manual shows the plane on the CG machine right side up and the manual says to mark the balance point on the bottom of the wing, not the top. Should I try to balance it upside down?

Only balance low wing airplanes upside down. They will balance any orientation and show the CG just as accurately no matter what. But they are more stable during the effort when the fuselage is hanging down.
