If your SHBG was relatively low it might’ve contributed to slightly lower levels due to faster metabolism I would imagine. But overall, the number is not bad. You said 600mg 3 days prior to when the blood test was performed. (Blood levels will peak the very next day after your injection above what you see on that paper).
Average of 500mg/weekly with blood drawn the day prior to the next injection [1]:
600mg/weekly with blood drawn 1 week after the last injection [2]:
Take special notice of the variance +/- 305 ng/dL before drawing any conclusion on yours based off of the average alone!
