I like using the yellow paste much better but it looks like the root of the tooth is a little longer then the crown. It is center to toe which may be inherent to the gear set. I would double check the backlash, use the yellow paste and apply a load to the pinion as you rotate the ring gear by the bolts. Check my post on this there are several pattern pictures there to help you.
Here's one of my 72's 308's
