Need 2nd opinion on ring gear contact pattern
This is my second diff build and I'm just as anxious as the first time about getting it right.
The coast side looks pretty good heel to toe and flank to face, but the drive side is what concerns me. From some of the examples and set up guides I've seen it looks like it falls into the "acceptable" range, but second thoughts say it's a little too close to the toe and flank.
If so, that's weird because this same carrier, spacer, and LSD unit was used on a Kia 4.77 set up in 2011 that had a textbook correct pattern:
Thoughts?

top picture is kind of hard to tell, on the bottom picture the pinion depth looks good but if you can slide the carrier slightly more towards the pinion gear to move the pattern a little deeper on the tooth would be ideal. Depending on the shins and and spacer if you have you might not be able to, the pattern is not too bad it might be the best you can get.
