Some questions about normal agar growth

Hey all, I'm pretty new at all this and had some questions about what is and isn't normal growth on agar. The pic below is fairly typical of what I've been seeing on my plates.
In case it matters, it started as a clone from a fruit from my first PF Tek grow, which barely fruited (I probably over misted the cakes, all looked good until things went into the SGFC, but that's another story). Variety is GT, plate below is first transfer from the clone plate. Agar is 20 g/L LME, 20 g/L agar.

First question: is the wispy, faint growth on the left hand side just a sector of crappy mycelium? Most examples of sectoring I see here are more distributed, not a giant chunk like this. I have other plates where it's a clean 50% split. This one is growing outwards at the same rate as the rhizo stuff is, though I have examples where it's slower. None of my plates past the first transfer have more than one of these sections.
Second question: there's a change in the density of the mycelium about half way out from the center, where the thicker ropes of mycelium seem to branch a lot and spread out. It's tough to get a picture of it, but the denser outer region also looks more fuzzy and 3D, like there's a circle of fuzz just behind the leading edge. This fuzz is not present in the ropier section, but is also in the middle where I placed the initial transfer. Is this normal?

That’s normal, just keep transferring until it’s solid all around.
Reading through the agar envy thread would prob help, tons of pictures.

Thanks, I had half convinced myself it was some kind of mold piggybacking onto all my transfers.
I've been reading the agar envy thread, it's been helpful for learning what an amazing plate looks like. But less so for the "slightly off but otherwise ok" ones...

One more will probably fix it. I’d grab a tiny piece from 730, 2, 6, most of its good really, and see how it does.
