A camera weighing 140 grams mounted on a Steadicam Jr can be extremely bottom-heavy even with the light stopper installed and gimbal fully unscrewed.
Adding approximately one kilogram of weight to the top of the camera can resolve the bottom-heavy balance problem on a Steadicam Jr.
Steel plates secured with strong adhesive velcro can serve as counterweight additions to balance lightweight cameras on the stabilizer.

The original poster was using a second-hand Steadicam Jr estimated to be 6-8 years old at time of posting.
The solution was tested with one specific camera model and may not apply universally to all lightweight cameras.
No official accessory from the manufacturer for accommodating very light cameras was mentioned or confirmed.
