Welcome to the club! First thing of note from the pictures, is that the pickup is not mounted correctly. Alembic has a unique mounting style of having 2 screw heads left under the pickup, for secure positioning without a foam pad, and also gives same positioning if the pickup is ever removed, then replaced. The opposing corners will be either over or under the pickup. Take all 4 screws off, lift the pickup, then screw down 2 of the screws on opposing corners. Set the pickup on top of those screws, and adjust the screws up or down to get the height you want. Then add the 2 screws on the other opposing corners on top, to adjust tilt and secure it. It takes a bit of practice, but in the end, you will find it really works better than foam pads. Be careful not to to crack the tabs by over tightening. If you look at other pictures of Alembics, you will see only 2 screw heads showing for each pickup. Hope I explained it OK. Enjoy that beautiful guitar!
