It's just the axis are a bit backwards, just gotta figure it out like instead of -6.2654 it might be positive 6.2654. that's what had me thinking the scale difference was off, I saw it in the complete opposite direction.

Re: Normal Map Distortion: Zbrush Generating bad normal map
I had this problem whenever baking normal maps in ZB. Tried everything and ended up going with XNormal. Nowdays its Substance painter so I don't need a cage. But with XNormal and an external app (where you make and uv your lowpoly) your ZB hi and lopoly have to be exactly the same 3d space. Goz a decimated version of your… -
