The longer your trailer, the more exaggerated this effect will be. With that setup, I'd definitely weigh your tongue weight. You honestly may not be able to offset that weight merely through the location of your car on the trailer.
How long is your trailer? Do you have a picture of it?

It's a
Trailex CT-8045, which is 14' (20' overall). It does have a tire rack in the front, but the toolbox and gas jugs are in the back. I do plan on weighing the tongue and making adjustments. This trailer has the axles mounted on rails so, if needed, I can tweak the axle location to get it just right. I bought it specifically for downsizing so that I can tow with an SUV (I was previously towing with a GMC 2500HD Durmax) I'm confident I can get the load balanced.

No. The car isn't legal for M3T, it was built long before M3T was created.
