1) Better picture of the balancing machine would be helpful.
2) Make sure that the cone or cuff that you use seats the wheel properly on the balancing machine.
3) There should be adjustments for the rim width, diameter and offset. Be sure those are correct for your wheel.
4) Generally, when you rotate the wheel it to the point where it needs the weight, put it a 12 o'clock. Your machine may be different. RTFM
5) As the wheel spins, watch it to make sure it's not wobbling. If it's wobbling, you're doing something wrong.
6) I generally try to have tires inflated to correct pressure when balancing. YMMV

Hope that helps. Good luck. Report back.
