Having trouble figuring out this pattern. New gears/bearings.

Installing Dana 5.13's in the front of my Sport (d30) I can't figure out what's wrong with this pattern. I mean I know it's wrong, but I can't find any resources on how to correct this.

Whats the cause of the high toe print on the drive side? Pattern #2 is where i quit for the day. Backlash is .007

Pattern #1

Pattern #2 after I took .010 out of the pinion shim

I am officially stuck. This doesn't make any sense. Here is .032 and .042. It seems to me it needs more pinion shims, but when I try .051 it binds. The ring gear is binding on the pinion shim.

I put a flat file on he ring gear just in case (forgot to do that), tightened up the backlash and tried a couple more patterns.

The first 2 pictures are with the .042 shim, the last 2 are with .032.
