I think it's the wrong foot, thank you!
The hole in the foot is just barely big enough for the needle itself actually and does not match up with the hole in the plate which is a pretty long oval. It does have the silver lever.
It doesn't have a J, but it does have a Japanese letter that's kind of like a J, a space, and then a C5

Many of these machine do not have a way for the needle position to be changed and are considered left homing machines. If your machine does not have the silver lever on the white top like the one seen at

Make sure you have a zigzag plate and a zigzag foot. The needle plate for a left homing sewing machine would look like

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your machine.
