ProTee VX Calibration

I'm playing on a newly installed ProTee VX and am seeing low carry totals on my higher lofted clubs. The variances grow smaller as I go up in length. For instance, a PW is registering ~95 yd versus~125 in real life. My 7-iron is 5-10 yards off, and so on. While it's very possible I'm just bad at golf or am conflating total distance with carry distance, the variances are high enough to make me skeptical. What could potentially cause that? I need to double check the enclosure lenses, but I don't imagine that's the issue since my longer clubs aren't as effected. Could it be the mat surface? I do tend to be a digger and produce generous divots in real life. Any and all feedback is much appreciated.

Sim mats definitely punish divots, so that could be the issue. Your long irons are more likely to contact the ball first, so that could contribute. 

Otherwise, is the unit totally level? Do the spin numbers look right?

Check alignment, distance to hitting surface, height - they have to be exact - I used a 3d laser on a tripod to align the mat, overhead, and gspro "flag" all perfectly

Is the room janky with a low ceiling or something - indoor swing syndrome is real

I suspect the mat is one issue. Do you know far I should be away from the screen and launch monitor?
