That's not a good chart to use. Use the chart with a flat, high-contrast object sitting on the chart, perpendicular to the lens. Make sure there is plenty of light.

What camera do you have? The results look acceptable for a non-professional camera.

Look at this test.

See how the target is standing up? That's what you need to do. You can use your chart but put it under the target.
