Virtual Boy depth adjustment?

I have 2 virtual boys and I noticed one gives off much more convincing depth than the other one. I have adjusted them to the same focus and ipd position. I have also verified the mirror alignment with the “left, b, down, a, up” button combo on both and they are both aligned. I have also done the solder fix on both. Anyone experienced anything like this or know what I could try next? I have also noticed on the one that doesn’t work as well sometimes the parts with depth don’t seem to mesh between the images properly.

Reproduction labels?

I have a really bad label for Golf and would like to replace it. I don’t care if it says “reproduction” on the label but I would like it to look like the original

Still Climbing (lvl 40 new PB) in Mario Clash

It was going really well until lives started dropping in a single level. I started thinking pipes were connected differently and made some pretty stupid mistakes. Looking forward to reaching level 50.
