Troubleshooting help needed-AC pressures

OK, now I understand how these gauges work....I'm a complete IDIOT!
I found a cutaway drawing... All right, I need to re-evaluate my situation as I probably messed it up. So my manifold valves were open but the charge hose was parked on the manifold so I'm not sure if it mattered or not if it was open because the fill hose was not hanging open to atmosphere?

Any updates?
