I have used Regenerus' reference interval - which goes from the lower yellow band to the upper yellow band, to show how far through the range you are. The green band is the optimal range which is where your levels would ideally be.

Optimal levels, according to web.archive.org/web/2018083... are

Morning at the top of the range - yours is within the reference interval of 7.0-30.0 at 83% so if that was my result I wouldn't be worrying too much about that as it's just a whisper above the optimal range.

Noon approximately 75% of the range - yours has just crept into the reference interval of 2.1-14.0 so is very low at 8%.

Evening close to 50% of the range - yours is 38% through the reference interval of 1.5-8.0 so a little low.

Nighttime at the bottom of the range - yours is at the bottom of the reference interval so maybe just a little low.

Your DHEA is just over the reference interval of 106-300 so is classed as high and Regenerus have commented on that.

It looks as though if you could raise your noon level then you'd not be far off the normal curve.
