Sorry, it's not the lighting. Picture the angles. If you move the sight-block a few inches downwards, and keep the same facial reference, the line from your eye to the sight ring passes below the peep. How much lower depends on how far the peep is from your eye, and how far down the sight-block moves.
I looked up some old sightmarks from when I was shooting ali shafts at about 46# (so, slow, in compound terms). Checking in dimmish (daytime indoor) lighting conditions, I found I'd have to move the peep down about 1/2" to see the sight ring through it, when moving the sight-block from the 20 yard to the 90m marks...

I'd second the "pick one and work with it" advice. You don't get consistency by changing things.
