Welcome Alexander!
What carbons are you using? Some are much smaller diameter is why I ask.

Re: Trueflight Fletching Guide
I believe those shafts are micro diameter if im thinking right? I see AZ sells separate setups or arms for aluminum and Carbon. The only issue that may arise, is the fletching may not line up perfectly on the skinny carbons. I don't think there will be an issue with the aluminums. If the shaft is 5/16 or 11/32 diameter its likely to work on it. However less then that may give some over hang.
As long as the quill of the fletching is laying mostly flat on the shaft, instead of hanging off, it's likely to work. It does look like AZ has separate set ups...so one apparently won't do everything. There must not be any adjustment.
Personally I'd get by with what you could, and instead of sinking more money into the AZ, id save my money for a fletching jig that had some adjustments.
