The ground settings are the same as yours, using the actual u-boat procedures from http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants/en/enigmaproc.htm (minus the bigram tables)

Something is wrong with this message on my end. Did you made it all exact the same way as I cyphred that message ?

My "ground settings" are the same. In other words, this part is the same:
B | II VI VIII | 25 24 05 | AS BG CZ DK FM HU IT NP OQ RW
My indicators, if you looked at standard Ubootwaffe procedure, were buried in the first and second (and last two) groups, with padding applied. The first two groups and last two groups are
QBWL DTOQ. Per standard procedure, the first character of the first group, and the last character of the second group, are "padding" that can be ignored, giving a cipher indicator of BWL DTO. Set the wheels to BWL, then type in DTO to get the message setting.
For a real Ubootwaffe message I would have enciphered the first two groups with a bigram table, but I don't have one handy, so I went easy on you
The first line is a preamble with the entity the message is for (you), the time sent, the date sent, and the serial number of the message, follow by the number of groups.
The last "SK" is a Morse prosign for "End of Schedule"
