This is how I do flags. Prefect stars every time with a surfacing and I also set z zero directly atop the union to get z zero set perfectly… I have done stand alone unions for a friend that I was unable to surface, so I used the spindle and playing cards to shim. Until the top was perfectly parallel to the spindle movement.

One of those unions (yes, every single star was this perfect)
