Is the use of 1.96 as a threshold suitable for KM analysis?

I'm interested in plotting KM curves for my expression data of genes. The data was normalized, log-transformed, z-score transformed, and batch-corrected. Therefore, I'm bifurcating the whole data into mid, low, and high groups for predicitng the KM survival curves based on expression value of genes. Is my approach correct?

library(survival)
library(survminer)
library(dplyr)
library(survMisc)
library(GGally)
library(survcomp)
library(RegParallel)

JMS <- read.delim(file = "LUAD_SURVIVAL.txt")

highExpr <- 1.96
lowExpr <- -1.96

JMS$LRRK2<- ifelse(JMS$LRRK2 >= highExpr, 'High', ifelse(JMS$LRRK2 <= lowExpr, 'Low', 'Mid'))
JMS$SNCA<- ifelse(JMS$SNCA >= highExpr, 'High', ifelse(JMS$SNCA <= lowExpr, 'Low', 'Mid'))
JMS$TDRKH<- ifelse(JMS$TDRKH >= highExpr, 'High', ifelse(JMS$TDRKH <= lowExpr, 'Low', 'Mid'))


JMS$LRRK2 <- factor(JMS$LRRK2, levels = c('Mid', 'Low', 'High'))
JMS$SNCA <- factor(JMS$SNCA, levels = c('Mid', 'Low', 'High'))
JMS$TDRKH <- factor(JMS$TDRKH, levels = c('Mid', 'Low', 'High'))

ggsurvplot(survfit(Surv(Time, Status) ~ LRRK2, data = JMS), data = JMS, risk.table = TRUE, pval = TRUE, break.time.by = 500, ggtheme = theme_minimal(), risk.table.y.text.col = TRUE, risk.table.y.text = FALSE)


ggsurvplot(survfit(Surv(Time, Status) ~ SNCA, data = JMS), data = JMS, risk.table = TRUE, pval = TRUE, break.time.by = 500, ggtheme = theme_minimal(), risk.table.y.text.col = TRUE, risk.table.y.text = FALSE)


ggsurvplot(survfit(Surv(Time, Status) ~ TDRKH, data = JMS), data = JMS, risk.table = TRUE, pval = TRUE, break.time.by = 500, ggtheme = theme_minimal(), risk.table.y.text.col = TRUE, risk.table.y.text = FALSE)

My data looks like this as stored in LUAD_SURVIVAL.txt:
