I’m assuming less backlash, more shim for pinion depth? As of now it has factory shim on 3.55 pinion.

I’m aware it’s off, I’m looking for input as far as corrective measures. Picture guides only help so much.

Really hard to give a "Add X-inches to the pinion and Y-inches to the backlash." kind of answer online.
By comparing your pictures against the "picture guide" I posted, you need to increase the pinion depth just a bit, then readjust the backlash. It's a trial and error thing. you're going to have to adjust and recheck multiple times.
