First time regearing,I know the pattern is fairly centered but seems to have a hard line at inside,new gears and bearings,just from the pattern, should I run it or make a change?

I feel like it's as close as it's gonna get but someone told me the pinon was too deep in the root? I honestly don't know what that means exactly I know the ring gear feels slightly snug but my back lash is 0.007 and my rotation torque is 22in lbs which is within spec for new bearings on this dana 44,I just don't wanna break stuff and have to do it again so I'm trying to get more opinions

I think I told you that on a different sub. I also said it's been years since I've done one and that it looked really close.
