I think I see what you're talking about.  The rim is lit more harshly at the
top and top-left and as a result casts a darker shadow.  There are six
lights sources around the logo, and the brightest one is causing this.
Unfortunately, that same light is also keeping the plate's surface bumps
from getting washed out.  Getting the lighting correct has been the toughest
part of this project because of all the bevels and layers.  :-(
