backlash is 0.01'' , guide says between 0.008 -0.012 is fine
shims are 0.04 thick

The marking is light, put a lot of pressure on it and do it again, if the mark is in the same area on both sides, it should be ok
 
thanks for the reply.

i ended up taking 0.01' of shim of (total 0.03' shim left).
otherwise same values and i got better patern, no sharp edges and centered on thooth.

now the rear is under car and first brake in drive was quiet.
