What "gaskets" did they change? The schrader valves? If you've already got dye in the system, get a UV light, park your car in the dark garage and look over all the components of your ac system; compressor,condenser, drier, suction, discharge(most likely to leak), and liquid lines. If you don't see any dye there look in the drain tube with your light (on passenger side fire wall). I don't think our cars are known for evaporator leaks but you never know until you look.
Your compressor will cycle when the low side pressure gets down to about 10-15 psi while it's running. You can simulate this by increasing your rpm to about 1500-2000 rpm while watching your ac gauges(since you keep asking). Static pressures are not very useful as air in your system can give a false static reading.

Thanks for the insight on the cycling. There shouldn't be much if any air in the system, as the shop used a machine and completely vacuumed the system ahead of time. With that said, I won't put too much merit in the static reading if it isn't a meaningful metric.

Video of this morning when I first started the car, following me switching on the A/C:

Hey Kyle sorry just saw your post. For some reason I cannot see your vidz but the gauge readings in the picture on the previous page indicate you're a little low, bro. I promise. Find the leak via a dye light (UV light). If you can't find one, make one! Kidding, but seriously quit dickin around and find that leak or add some (maybe .5 lbs). I've been working in the automotive air conditioning field for 10-12 years now and have seen a lot of various problems and yours is relatively straight forward. BTW Having a machine to recover and tell you how much was in it and how much you're charging into the system really saves a lot of time and effort. Work smarter not harder right? SO I recommend you take your car to someone who can use a recovery/charging machine on it. Goodluck
