Coast usually always looks to be off compared to drive. Did you put any drag on it while turn the ring gear? That'll also help give a better reading.

Turn the ring into the pinion with a combo wrench on a ring gear bolt and wrap and hold a rag around the pinion yoke so you can load up the gears and get a clearer pattern.
You can try tighten up the back lash to bring the coast pattern off the toe PROVIDING youll still be in spec, i assume your doing a JK 30 and 44 and back lash is .006-.010". If your right at .006" youll be fine.
Front 30
Also looking at the pattern your a hair deep on your pinion depth, take out .002" and reset backlash.
