Need help to determine quality of stereo camera calibration and setting up calibration matrix

I am playing around with two cheap webcams(0.3Mpx), trying to make a stereo camera setup that can measure distances and dimensions of objects. But I am struggling to find out If my stereo camera calibration Is properly done and how to move on to set up the camera calibration matrix?
What I have done so far Is to make a camera rig, where the camera's are set 30 cm apart tilted slightly Inwards so the images more or less overlap each other. I put the calibration checkerboard(A4 size) from Matlab approximately 50 cm away from the cameras. Then i proceeded to take 20 image pairs in different angles and positions via a Matlab script that I made, and feed these to the stereo camera calibration app In Matlab. This is the result i get:

This Is the Image that makes me feel like there Is something wrong with my calibration, as It looks like the cameras are not apart.

Here I have removed some of the Image pairs with higher reprojecion errors

If anyone are able to help me get a little bit further with this project, It would be greatly appreciated :-) have butted my head against the wall for a while now
