With the fuzziness, they look all right to me. It be better if we could get a clearer, closer picture though.

If you have the ram-Flo and the turn outs shown in your gallery, I would suggest that you richen it up just a bit. Very hard to tell from the fuzzy photo. The 45 pilot is probably OK but the 180 main may need to go to a 185. Better pictures are really needed as well as stating which plug is from the front jug.

shim the needle and turn out screw 1/2 turn out, possibly 48 slow 180 main should be all you need.
