Difficulty Checking Oil Level

So I just did an oil change on my carbon edition, and every time I have ever done an oil change, I always struggle trying to figure out if it’s got the right amount. I put in 5 qts plus roughly the additional roughly .1 quart out of a smaller 1 qt bottle to equal the 5.1 qts that the manual recommends. The picture is after 3 re-dips of the dipstick and I wiped it every time but even after letting the car sit for a little over 5 mins it still comes out like the oil was just thrown all over the dipstick. Does anyone else ever experience this or does anyone know what causes it so I can work around it to actually get an accurate reading?

Thanks!
