Please take a look at the photo. It was taken with ND16.
I think I positioned the lens properly, but still the glare is unbearable.
Thoughts?

NDPL works best at 90 deg from the sun, looks like you are facing the sun so less effect but it should cut glare (to a certain amount).Iit is an ND16PL filter indeed.
I have the same filters and they are hard to position correctly. First you need to rotate the filter to find the correct horizontal position. An easy way to do this is to wear polarized sunglasses while looking through the filter on a sunny day in the direction of the sun (not at the sun). Then rotate the filter until the light through it is the darkest. Mark the filter rim at the 3 or 9 o'clock position. Point that mark towards where you estimate the sun will be when photographing and install.
If you look through two pairs of polarized sunglasses with one rotated 90 degrees you will see what I am talking about.
