Lee filters giving me a tough time!!!

Hi Guys,

Got my Lee filters recently and did a test drive with it...
Shot some pic under the bright afternoon sun.
Heck this is the result.... need i a black cloth to cover so stray light won't enter?
Need some help with some techniques you guys employ to rid this problem... thanks in advance...

Are you using a hood? What filter are you using and why are you using it?

No hood applied,

Filters used, 1st layer 0.9GND to reduce sand brightness, 2nd layer is BigStopper and lastly CPL on the outside...
DO you think its the lights coming in from the side of the filter gaps?
I did stuck a black card up the diopter as recommended.... I SUX at using this filter!!!

Looks it too me; the light seems to be coming though between the gap between the filters; notice how the bottom half of the image doesn't seem to be affected by the issue. One quick way to test, turn your filter ring such that the filters slide in horizontally, and see if the same issue occurs.

As for solving the problem, perhaps some way of covering the edges between the filters such that stray light doesn't come though...
