Most chalices like low light. I have mine under an overhang, facing away from the light. They only get light reflected from the glass. They're growing fast and have nice colour. They have quite a bit of flow where they are but it doesn't seem to be bothering them.

Put it a low as possible for a while see if it improves. After that if you want to move it higher do it very slowly, up a couple inches every couple weeks so it get accustom to the lighting.
