Default Need more elevation in sight

I recently put in a new set of strings and installed a new peep. After shooting a little bit I felt my peep was a little too high. Finally I got into the right spot for me and havent been able to get enough adjustment out of my sight (up and down). I tried moving the peep up in small incriments but it doesnt seem to help. My sight is a CJ Deadnuts and adjusted all the way down. My peep height is nothing unordinary, my arrow is level with the berger button and at rest I'm about 1/8" nock high. What can I try to change without changing the peep height? It's already set and I've had enough fun already getting it there and being square to the string at full draw.

Yea I guess I should have added that. About 4-5 inches at 20 yds. I'll also add that where my peep was originally set, I had no problems except that my peep height was uncomfortablly high.

Well when I moved my peep sight from from its uncomfortably high position down to where I believe my normal position was before, my POI was about 1 ft. low. So that would lead my to believe that raising it back up to its original location would get me back to or close to normal.

If you shoot w/ a kisser, try moving that as well. It's the combination of the two.

The only other thing I could think of if your nocking point needs to be lowered a tad
