You do not seem to understand how a governed engine works
The governor tries to STOP the engine
This is proportional, the faster the engine spins the harder the governor arm pulls against the spring
When the engine is off then the governor arm is at rest because the engine is stopped which is what the governor is set to do
When you move the throttle control you stretch the governor spring and once the engine starts to revolve it is a tug-O-War between the spring and the governor
When the engine starts to revolve the governor will close down so the throttle lever will be against the throttle stop marked with the red arrow in your photos.
