Any reasons why you use backticks here?

It shouldn't: Emacs does not modify Info-directory-list using
Info-additional-directory-list, it uses them both when appropriate,
and searches Info-directory-list first, followed by
Info-additional-directory-list. Like the doc string of
Info-additional-directory-list says:
List of additional directories to search for Info documentation files.
These directories are searched after those in `Info-directory-list'.

These results are expected, I think. The doc string of
Info-directory-list says, among other things:
If you want to override the order of directories in
`Info-default-directory-list', set INFOPATH in the environment.
So I suggest to do just that.
