Light leak (?) with nisi ND filter

A quick question to the filter-users out there: when I use e.g. the 6x ND-filter from NISI on the 35mm-S, I get uneven exposure, with artificial overexposure in the lower 10-15 % of the image.

 

I can only imagine some sort of light contamination/light leak from the sky, adding light to the foreground. I am carefully adjusting the position of the filter so that the foam on the filter cover the filter holder so this shoud be ok. Do I have to cover the filter system to ensure no light contamination? Any other suggestions?

 

I am in the field with a new filter set, so I have limited possibilities to uncover whats going on her & now. Therefore, input is much appreciated!

Make sure you cover the viewfinder eyepiece. Also light can leak through the open sides of the filter holder. The foam does not block all light.
