Am I missing something simple?

I have an interior lounge view I am trying to convert into depthmaps for the first time. My result below is not great, and I feel like I may be missing something small in my code. The pano file and the depthmap png were both exported directly from 3ds Max so I figure the alignment would be perfect.

Am I missing something simple? Or is there something wrong with my geometry and I need to re-generate the depthmap png? Here are links to my source files:

I appreciate anyone's suggestions!

your depth map is only light grey...
so of 256 grey values you maybe use less than 30 ?
you should render it so that the range is almost black to white

i guess then you set the scale and offset accordingly
https://krpano.com/docu/xml/#depthmap.scale
https://krpano.com/docu/xml/#depthmap.offset

but even with this a 3d model is much better than a depthmap
just take your 3d model and really simplfy it...
eg the whole facade would just be one plane, ignore the lamps, just do the 4 tables and the walls in the back
