Are you sure? Perhaps you were pulling it forward

Nope, that's why I said IIRC! ;-)
I've never had a K5 so I can't be sure. I just thought
that I read it somewhere.

Ha... Looks like I was wrong. Just found this:

It seems that the ATN95E leaves a (harmless) gap between
the stylus housing and the cartridge body. It can be
just left or filled with blu- tack.

Wouldn't filling it with blu-tac completely change its
mass and balance and other significant properties?

The amount of Blu Tack and its low density suggests that there would
probably be some difference, but you should be able to rebalance the arm for
good results.
