You made a mistake in the non-crit damage formula, not putting a parenthesis around the magicka/10.5 and spell damage, so only the latter got multiplied by non-crit chance.

Shadow's 13%. With 7 divines it's 19.825, which is truncated down to 19%.

You'd want to include % bonuses from buffs, passives, and CP. They're generally additive to each other. So if your magicka for example's buffed 20% by CP, 6% by Undaunted, 5% by Inner Light, 4% by Magicka Controller, that's a 35% total bonus for max magicka and the Mage by extension.

UESP's ESO Build Editor can help with checking some numbers, though I notice it's rounding Shadow*Divines incorrectly, not truncating it.

Masel's videos are recent and dispelled some of my incorrect assumptions about how CP damage bonuses stack with non-CP bonuses and each other. Testing on a blank PTS character with combat metrics is a good way to get to the bottom of something.

Asayre posted a lot of formulas, though it's dated mid-2017. He also had a good CP Optimizer. Solinur made a spreadsheet of abilities and what affects each, and also made the Constellations and Combat Metrics addons. UESP has skill coefficients for each ability if you ever want to simulate them.
