This question is about force carbing in a keg (or multiple kegs)

I have seen a lot of info about balancing a line to the tap for serving, but I wanna ask if there is an issue with the pressure needed at the end of a line needed to properly force carb in a keg.

My Carbing system has a guage at the regulator and then about 3 foot of line then it splits to a T and then into 2x2foot lines to the connectors.

Should I be worried about the pressure at the end of the line in order to force carb to the proper level or do I really need to be measuring the pressure in the keg and disregard the pressure guage on the regulator?

If you have no leaks then the pressure at the keg is the pressure that is reading on the low pressure gauge of the regulator.
