Fuel Guage Problem

Fuel Guage Problem
ok so last night i installed some glow guages. everything went back together great and everything works as it did before, except my fuel guage.
I had to move all the needles just a bit to slide the guage faces on. after the install all the guage needles work just as they did, so im not sure what i did wrong.
The fuel guage needle should be a little under half way, thats where it was when i changed it, if you look at the picture you can see it sits a little above E and it doesnt matter if the car is on or off
I was wondering if there is a way to re-calibrate or reset the fuel guage, also will my low fuel light still come one despite the guage not working anymore? if it does still work i guess i could deal with not having a working guage
but a lighter note the guages look nice, i think
heres a pic

the same thing happened to me when I cahnged mine. my solution was to physically move the needles to the correct postition.
it seems like a bit of a friction fit for them, so jsut tweak them whichever way you wan by turn them all the way left or right and then pushing a little bit mroe to make it budge.
I imagine the needle is going below the E when you turn the car off too, right?
