Yes, 54 from level. 36 from zenith.
Auckland's latitiude is 36.85 degrees, so you should probably shoot for 37. You will still need to fine tune that ~0.15 degree out for photography.

In this photo, your protractor's outer scale is the one to work from.
0 on the level, and the arrow pointing around 37deg. (or 143 deg on the inner scale.)
Again, you will still need to fine tune this for photography.
