I don't think you are checking your gravity right. 3kgMO will never produce that gravity on 15l

Sounds ok to me. It seems that your mash wasn't necessarily as efficient as it could have been (depending on your target gravity and wort amount).

Was your intention to get a 15l brew length with that gravity?
