A proper "flight check" involves an FAA aircraft filled with fancy
electronics which checks the signal for strength, accuracy, etc, not
just on the centerline, but also at the edges of the approach corridor.
The "test" you did yourself just isn't good enough.


The loc offset for 9R is 5 degrees, pretty close to the max allowed (5).
The back course might point you off into some obstacle.

You could always get a GPS there are GPS approaches to both ends of
the runway :-)
