Here is a photo of the 1/8 gauge port that I put an elbow in to get a gauge on it.Would you mind double checking based on this diagram?

If it is on the charge pump inlet, I can’t think of any reason why it would be there. It would only lead to more pressure drop that makes it more difficult to get oil into the inlet of the charge pump.
The only place that a check valve would make sense is on the case drain. If it is on the case drain port then it wouldn't let oil flow from the tank to the pump case. I have seen that if there are case pressure spikes from another component and they are trying to isolate the pump case from those events.
If it is on the charge pump inlet line, I would remove it. If it is on the case drain line, I would make sure it is working properly and the oil can flow from the pump to the tank. It should not take much force to open it. If it does, I would be concerned about it causing high case pressure in the pump.
