I'm sorry to say this but stop...you are shooting blind without the proper tools and training. Nothing in the soundhead should be done stictly by eye or ear. You need both calibrated test films as well as the proper tools which include, WinDras, O-scope, test films and RTA. It really is that cut and dried. Anything you do by eye is likely to be as bad as it is good.
Despite what Monte said, WinDras can be a very valuable tool but not for setting the LED position so much...it can be handy for items. If you know how to read the quick histogram, you can use that portion of Dras to set LED/lamp intensity.
I'm not trying to discourage anyone from trying to improve things but the reality is that without the proper materials and training, I would think you have as much chance to make things worse as make them any better and you are not going to get it right, even if you do, by luck, improve things a little.
