OK, now listen carefully.
This is from years of trimming stick and tissue rubber band airplanes.
When making adjustment for glide make one and only one change per trial!
I cannot stress this enough. Otherwise it will just be another lesson in frustration.
Add or subtract weight, do several test tosses to see what it does remembering what you just adjusted.
If that does not work go back to the original setting, if you added weight take it off.
Then try one more adjustment either ellevon, rudder, weight whatever but ONLY ONE change!
If that doesn't work go back to the previous sett.
After a while you will get the hang of it but you have to keep going back to your original setting almost every time.
