On short final; we received a 'Too Low Flaps'; I directed a go-around; subsequent landing was uneventful. We discussed what contributed to event and agreed that the lack of depth perception of the flap gauge for the MAX versus the NG gauge made it difficult to synthesize. I now point to the gauge to bring extra attention to the gauge.
B737 MAX 8 Captain reported a Too Low Flaps warning occurred on final approach and conducted a go-around to a successful landing. Reporter stated that differences in viewing the flap position indicator in the MAX and the NG type aircraft contributed to an incorrect flap setting.
