I bought my first bug 55 years ago as a 5 WPM novice. That arm
wasn't available then, so I drilled a hole in a piece of steel and
attached it to the top of the weight with a longer screw.

Clothespins and (my favorite) large alligator clips hung onto the pendulum
have done such duty too. Position them so they don't interfere with the
damper action.
I wrapped solder around the weight, that worked.
