Is this gear pattern ok?

Going from 2.73's to motive 3.73's. After messing around for awhile I ended up with this gear pattern. The pics suck but the drive side looks to be a hair towards toe and the coast side is even closer to the toe. The install kit came with three pinon shim sizes and barely saw any change when going from a .032 to a .024 The pics are actually with the .032 pinon shim in.

A .024 pinon shim with .010 backlash (motive instructions suggested between .008 and .012) is how the rear end sits now buttoned up and ready to go back in the car.

i would say that you need less pinion spacer and to bring the ring closer to the pinion a back lash as small as .006 is ok as long as you break them in properly and yeah your pics suck
