Default Led lighting advice

So I have a 36x20x20 reef tank and everything has been going great all parameters are in check.
Doing weekly 15% water changes as well.

Just kinda need some advice on leds
I was running a Maxspect 160w 16000k light at 90% blue and 30 to 50% whites. Mounted on stock legs 6 to 8inches from water surface.
I just recently changed to a radion gen 3 pro. I currently have it hanging 12inches above the water.
Been running the acclimation program that bumps it up over time. I started at 30% power now up to 40% max.
My LPS are doing great but my sps don't extend polyps since the change.

Wondering if I started the lights to low since everything is use to almost full power of my old 160w maxspect.

Any advice?
