To true. Be carefull, sometimes the wing becomes so clean that you hardly feel the neutral position and easy to stall if the experience is lacking. Happened to me once when I thought I knew it all and nearly saw my arse. Moved the hangpoint full foreward. Not one hole at a time. BIG mistake. Always ...

Sounds like you have increased the turn to the right. Hope this helps. Lets work on the right wing first.
