If your flat was done in the right way, e. g. with equal distribution of white light over sensor, it is normal that you observe diferents levels in the flat image.
The optic, vignettting, and dusts cause artificial pixels (sensor area) level output and will be showed in the flat image also.
Thanks Jorge,
I understand what flats are for and how to take them, in the flats image there is also some shadowing in the top left hand corner, why did his not also have the same effect on the image as the lower right hand corner.
