I imagine that the dial gauge would have to be center too but of course that is not possible with my set up. They could be very close though.
Take the brick and epoxy a thin flat piece of wood or metal to the side.
Then lay the brick dead center on the wood and take your measurement off of the thin flat piece you've epoxied to it.
Now you'll be able to get a dead center measurement.
