Default Eflight Horizon Opteera Balance Question?

I just bought a Eflight Horizon Opteera 2M. According to the manual you are supposed to shove your 3s 2200 30c lipo as forward as it can go. It has little dimples on bottom of the wing to show you were CG is located. They want it to be a little noise heavy, just a little. With battery clear forward the noise just falls like crazy. No way will it fly like this. I moved the battery about 2" back to achieve this. I also found it you remove the nose piece there is a bunch of weight glued in side the cavity. I'm wondering if this is suppose to be removed to achieve the balance with battery like they show in the manual? However no where does it say that in the manual that I can find. This plane is also capable to carrying 3 or 4 different kind of cameras which I won't be doing. Any help would sure be appreciated. How should I balance it and should the noise weight be removed?

By looking at the pictures of the plane at Horizon I would say that the C of G is supposed to be is where the fastening bolts are located, just forward of the small fins!
