i see, so its down to my failure to understanding the wording correctly. the average is of the entire 5nd timeframe. so am i correct in saying that I am also just waiting for a few more blocks to hit to get paid the rest of the amount? i understand that its not what I expected but it still seems awfully low. I guess ill wait it out?

To put it into details:

When we find a block we reward all shares in the last 5Nd which was ~366 hours (according to Account->Rewards)
So during those 366 if, e.g. you only mined for half of it, your reward would be half what you expect.
Why? Well if you had been mining for 366 hours you would have done twice as much work as if you were mining for 183 hrs
That's the simple logic of working out your reward for the block.

Now there's 2 more more facts to consider:
1) We had bad luck ... ~600% block
So if instead we had found the expected 6 blocks instead of just 1, you would have got 6 total rewards, however it still wouldn't add up to the number you are probably expecting.

2) 5Nd from Help->Payouts
The 5Nd spreads out your reward for each share over all the blocks found in the 5Nd after you submit the share.
So you expect each share to get 1/5 of it's expected reward per block found.
If at the start of the 5Nd before the block you were already 'ramped' up, then you would have submitted, over the 5Nd, 5 times the number of shares you expect to submit per block - and thus get 5 * 1/5 of your expected reward = 1
There's also this simple text drawing I did a while back to help explain this:
