Your threshold looks too high and your highlevel looks way too low. Under 200 with gain set at 8 just can't be right - and if that's the case then your triggers are either faulty or as cold as ice. I'd go back to factory defaults (boot with right button pressed or with AutoloadConf set to 'no') because I see you've also fiddled with latency and scan time without really knowing what you're doing. Are you following a procedure or just randomly trying things?
Here's a quick mesh pad setup guide I wrote some time ago - it should get you going, and if it doesn't tell us what exactly happens once you've completed it (making sure to send/save properly). It assumes you've set the pad notes and zones appropriately (a note for each zone and if dual set as dual or yamaha 3 way):
1.- Set HighLevel Auto to 'yes' and whack the pad hard 10 times. Look at the number you get in 'HighLevel'. If it's between 500 and 1000 move to step 2. If it's below 500, raise gain and repeat the process. If it's above 1000, reduce gain and repeat the process. Ideally it should be around 800-900 but if it's at around 500 it's still fine.
2.- Reduce Threshold until the pad starts auto-triggering. Raise it by 2.
3.- Set Retrigger to 1 and Dyntime and Dynlevel to 0. You'll probably get loads of double triggers. Raise Dyntime to 24 and then raise Dynlevel one number at a time until double triggers go away. Don't go higher than 4 or 5 (I find it starts missing hits if higher than 5, YMMV). If you still get double triggering start raising Retrigger until they go away.
The pad should now be triggering fairly decently. Fine-tuning involves tweaking the above parameters, there's not much else to it apart from choosing a curve that suits the dynamics you want.
If it ain't broken... fix it until it is.
