Hi Glenn, it's a little difficult to see any mesh of tooth pattern using the grease. Persian blue or oiled red lead would be a better choice to get the pattern, and apply it to at least 12 teeth. You can't use the ring gear to rotate for pattern, you must rotate the pinion gear to determine pattern. If all adjustments were made correctly, tooth contact starts near the top of the gear and extends about 80% of the tooth. With the grease your using, rotate the pinion to see if a better pattern develops.
