In your "@Use { @DocumentLayout }" clause set
@(Intro)?(Start)?(Odd|Even)(Top|Foot) to appropriate values (and keep 
@PageHeaders Simple)

E.g.
        @Use { @DocumentLayout
          # First page -- footer
          @StartOddFoot {         @Centre {- @PageNum -} @Right @YourID }
          # Ordinary pages -- headers
          @OddTop       {         @Centre {- @PageNum -} @Right @YourID }
          @EvenTop      { @YourID @Centre {- @PageNum -}                }
        }
