Just a thought here.
Next time shut the intakes down early, like about 10* before you reach your desired temp.
Shut all of them down tight then regulate it with the valve only.
After 30 minutes, if need be, open up one nipple.
Be patient! These adjustments are not instant, it takes a while for the drum to adjust.
These things are all a bit different. Much of the problem is learning
how to build a responsible fire and to duplicate it every time.

Here are some pictures, notice how closed my intake is. Any advise?
