Was the suggestion to wear ankle weights the total problem solving effort?
Where is the rest of your weight? If it's integrated in your BC get it down on a belt. Picture your body as a see saw which you need to balance. you can center the load or add weight to one end. I hope the instructor had you remove the corresponding amount of weight from what had already been determined.
Unless you are of a "buoyant build" below the belt line the ankle weights are probably the wrong solution to an ill perceived problem. If you are somewhat "buoyant" in the lower body the use may well be warranted.
Don't over think the design of the ankle weights, limit your investment.
