Thanks for the replies!
I tried putting a light source behind the gauge. The way it is positioned there should be no light under it, right?

As I don`t have a true bar, the closest thing I have is a caliper gauge. I decided to check if the base surface is flat, well it`s not
It is concave, not what I expected from a brand new ski
Should I do something with that surface? Make it flat somehow?

Further investigation showed, that the gauge itself is not precisely machined, considering its price. I expected to be with straight edges. Seeing that, I am starting to question the quality of the cut angles
