If your canning weights are jiggling, is the dial reading a concern?

My 10lb weights are jiggling like theyre supposed to be, as referenced in this video.https://youtu.be/MXNIojGg8IEWhen I didnt use weights and only followed the dial, then i would have to make sure my dial reaches 11 according to the National Canning. With the 10lb weights on, jiggling like the video above, my dial reads just short of 11.https://ibb.co/w7G9LMFThe only way to get it to read 11 is to turn up the heat which makes the weights jiggle much more aggressively than the video above.Should i just ignore the dial? I was so used to needing to see the 11 on my dial gauge that now it scares me to see it at anything less than that.
