no need for the keeper any more.
You HAVE to grind down the metal "tit" on the rim; that the keeper fastens to btw... so be ready to do that... if you want to keep the TPMS in place on the top of the T-Valve and use the horizontal valve for checking air and/or adding air.
Can't see your pic - NOT! (insert smilie here)
Have you tried to air it up with the lower valve since you have installed it ???? Or are you using the top valve only and think everything is ok? Or.. did you install the T-Valve backwards?
here's a pic of mine...

Instead of grinding the "keeper" off, you can install a valve extender which you can buy at most auto parts stores. Now it's easy to air up.
I did not grind off the tab, but I did turn the T valve to point opposite stock. I never did like the idea of the valve pointing to the down side when the bike is on the side stand.
Much easier for me to check the front PSI this way.
