Ok, this is not a problem. But for first I'd work with only one, just to see how can this be done. Me personally never joined a Roundline and a Bar meter this way. Would be much easier to work with one single pair for the first. Then, if it works as expected, adding the second pair would be much easier.
Just my opinion...
Here are the images that will be used (I won't actually need to join the bar and the roundline together since this version is small enough to not need the bar, only the roundline):
I'm not exactly sure what kind of sorcery you're going to pull off, but I certainly hope to learn something from it!

Why those large spaces above and on left of the images?

Ah, my friend's using them as video overlays for another project so I just repurposed them, I was going to crop them buuuut... I got lazy...
Anyway so here are the cropped versions:

What about something like the following code? Just make sure to put the MPBar.png and MPCharge.png images into the @Resources folder:
The above code works with random values. In fact the meters are not showing neither disk space, nor anything else, just random values. But I hope you can see if the skin is working as expected. Does it?

Yes, this does work!! But... How, exactly? The only thing I'm seeing that's different is the LineColor, which is set to 255,240,0... And BackgroundMode

Doesn't matter too much the options of the Roundline meters, nor the LineColor, nor the other ones. The Roundline meters are used just for masking. See that in fact the posted images are used into two Image meters ([MeterMpBar] and [MeterMpCharge]) and both have a container: [MeterTotalDisk] and [MeterTotalDisk2] (see that the [MeterMpBar] and [MeterMpCharge] meters have a Container=MeterTotalDisk and a Container=MeterTotalDisk2 option, accordingly). When a meter has set a containder, you can see from the meter only the parts which are above visible (not transparent) parts of the container. This is what is used here. For some details see this: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/meters/general-options/container/
The BackgroundMode (along with SolidColor) into the [Rainmeter] section is used just to create the light background color of the whole skin. These options have nothing to do with the roundlines, are there just to can better see the meters.

Oh, I see!!! I can't believe I made such a big deal of such a small problem... Thank you so much!

No, you didn't do a big deal and there are no small problems. Any problem can be smaller or greater for one or the other. Don't worry, I'm glad if you got it working as expected.
Feel free to come back if any other question arises.
