Sounds like a little tuning work is in order, particularly with brace height.

I would just make the strike plate a little thicker.  

You're learning a very valuable point to buy strings from the same maker, or at minimum, made of the same material.
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD. Jeremiah 17:7

"There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death."  Proverbs 14:12

Did you buy a performance string? It sounds like you are getting better performance from the bow so the arrow is showing weak spine. Do you have puffs on the string? How far away from the target are you?
"There's only two things an arrow wants to do, it wants to fly and it wants to hit its target. It's in its very nature. Don't over think it."

Pull it off and put double sided carpet tape under it, one piece at a time until arrow moves to left.

Get some velcro for a strike,and put a shim behind it as needed. tooth pic or small piece of leather, or anything will work.

I usually take the heel of my hand and hit myself in the head a few times to readjust the sights.      :bigsmyl:

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Have often just temporarily attached a small piece of Velcro to the outside of the shelf plate to quickly verify that there is some marked improvement before actual side plate adjustments.
