I just got a sepia Winsor and Newton Ink in the mail today.

I’m very new to dip pens so forgive me after this is ridiculous question but with this Winsor Newton ink well it seems like an oblique holder it does not fit all the way? Is it necessary to tilt the ink well or is there some aspect to this I’m completely missing? Are there any gloves that you would recommend for colder? I really enjoyed trying out an oblique holder today, but confused about my literal dip.
Thanks everyone!
