Default Ring gear wear pattern

Hi all.

I have changed the ring gear in my 12-bolt axel.
The stock ratio was 3.07 and now it is 3.73.

It is the first time Iīve done that, so I want your oppinion about the wear pattern.
The checking distance is 2.832" and I got it spot on.
I assembled it all and by the pattern I got the first time, the pinion was too shallow.

Then I moved the pinion about 0.007" towards the centerline of the ring gear to get the pattern you see on the pictures.
The backlash is 0.010" like it says on the ring gear.

What do you guys think?
Is it ok or should I re-do it again?

Like I said earlier, my English isīnt so good so I hope that you understand what I mean

Regards

Johan , Sweden
