Thank you for the picture and congratulations for having finished the project.

... Not sure whether the fiberglass pole is going to shake in the wind and give false rain readings yet, but we will see. 

An alternative position for the rain gauge, unless there are many trees around, will be installing it in the tower where you have the radiation shield (you can use the TX unit you have there). The rain gauge is the kind of instruments which when possible should be placed near the ground level, 1 to 2 meters above.
