Default 10 bolt gear pattern help?

Hello, I previously found my old set of gears were defects, so now that I have better gears, (new) I put them in and things are looking good. I just need some insight whether this is an acceptable pattern.

pinion shim is near 0.034” or so, and the gear markings are in the center. Backlash is at 0.008”, (right smack in the middle)
and things look good.

I don’t know if I am overthinking or not, but upon closer inspection of the gears, it looks like the Drive side of the tooth is center (nearly perfect), whereas the Coast side is slightly shifted to the heel.

another concern is that the prints reach to the top of the teeth, but not on the bottom (especially the coast side)
Here’s the photos

Drive side, things look centered, and I’m happy with it

Coast side, I’m happy with it, but there’s a little something about it not being deep enough. I

The pattern matches the “acceptable” pattern on the Yukon Install Guide, but the shallowness of the print is a bit unsettling. Although I have checked anywhere from 0.030” to 0.037”, and this 0.034” is the best
Backlash is 0.008”

Will this create noise on deceleration or acceleration? I’d appreciate any insight, thanks again!
