Not sure of the question, but without an attorney now you're worried how a judge will react to the tenant denying ever receiving the landlord's notice. This is why it is helpful to have a witness, or to have a third party present, at time of service, and if you try to use the picture the judge may or may not allow it for a variety of reasons. But you have a court date and without more there is nothing that anyone can help you with.
