Default position of oil and coolant gauges

Could someone post a picture of these oil temp and coolant temp gauges when cold/off. I think when I re-attached them, I didn’t place them in the correct position and now they are not centered. Just want to be sure.
thanks 🙏

It's bang on the lines on the dials.

The stops are slightly below the lines. It takes some trial and error to get them back the way they were from factory.
Also, the depth matters as the base of the needles can scratch the overlay if they are pushed too far in. The backlighting will be off as well.

Thanks, the depth I figured last time, I use a couple of left over business cards under the edges to keep it from bottoming out 😂
