it’s your thread, do as you will.
you are correct to expect to see some light about now, but also, another 2 weeks could well make all the difference.
Pretty much, with the exception of resin for strength in the xLED.
Agreed 
Its more likely a healing “problem”
or maybe a placement on antenna problem.
the oriention of implant should be something like one of these.
Also try reading at either end, it can make all the difference…
I’ll tell you what I tell my Mrs.
Millimeters matter !
Your xLED looks nice and shallow, but when “reading” with commands above, try pressing firmly into the implant.
Do your best contortion act to be able to see the light because it is easy to cover with the PM3.
To refine your placement even more, try a
lf tune
Place your PM3 on your xLED and look for the lowest Voltage reading you can find.
Take a mental image of this placement, and replicate this the best you can
…
YOU COULD do a
lf read -@
then
lf tune
find best location
DO NOT MOVE
ESC
Hit

look for Blinky
There is no right or wrong, if you have an LF reader, it will work as well as an HF one.
The main difference is, most people carry an HF reader with them everyday 
LF, your main options are
Proxmark
Flipper zero
LF wall reader
A Flipper zero Is a good investment for future implants if you already have a PM3
Plus it is a handy LF Lighty Uppy dohickey
ANYWAY, Im bored of your problem and ready to move on
