Put in indiglos. RPM needle wack??

Ok so after I put on the gauges they were sticking so I took it apart again and put down some more superglue. Then it was just my RPMs that were sticking a little bit this time SO I took a little sanding stone bit for a dremel and put it under the back of the needle were the little black piece hangs over that was was dragging on the gauge. I pushed down on the neddle and grinded it on the bit and it worked really well actually i really didnt use that much pressure but it sanded down the part pretty well and it didnt stick at all ... BUT now when i start the car... I idle at about 1500 or at least thats what the needle sits at. And I know its not sticking cause ive messed aroudn with it trust me lol. So I thought well wtf does that mean its warped or something so when I got on it i shifted about 500rpms over the redline on the gauge and no fuel cut or anyting but I dont wanna try it again lol but I go over the redline now and I know the gauge is totally lined up as well... Does this mean the needle is messed?

You just moved the position of the needle when messing around with it, you need to take it out and align well at 0. My friend had the some problem, we took the needles off when putting his indiglos and had to play with the needle to get it right, after a few tries you can get it aligned well again.
