Hello Andre!
Please tell me if you can see this attached diagram. I found three  
versions of Papa in the ASL SignPuddle (left in the diagram) and then  
I placed your writing from Quebec, along with two attempts from me,  
on the left in the attached diagram. The signs are very similar in  
ASL and Quebec!

You wrote the sign very well! Just move the Contact Star near the Thumb.

The rule is to place the Contact Star near the Thumb, so we know that  
the Thumb is doing the contacting. Otherwise the reader will think  
that the wrist or bottom of the hand is contacting the head.

You can throw out the signs I wrote in your Quebec SignPuddle if they  
are not what you want. I just put them there to show you ideas ;-)

See attached diagram:
