Still having issues with my gas gauge

Well most of yall now by now about my gas gauge lol
i just cant get it to work
I installed a new tank and a sender
cleaned the ground for the sender real real good
the green wire on the sender cleaned it with some connector cleaner
but still can get a reading
I have 3 different gauges
One is the factory or i think the factory gauge of the truck
One is off a 83-87 small jimmy or blazer not the big one the little ones
the last one i got from a member here with a few other gauges
Okay well the factory gauge stays at the 1/8th of a tank
the one off the jimmy starts at e then goes up slowly to the 3 o clock position
the one i got from a member goes straight to the 3 o clock position
the sender is grounded, and everything is seated
idk what to do anymore
could i just run the wires straight from the sender and 12v and ground to gauges?
Thanks for any help
