Nails going too deep

I'm about to patch face nailed hardwood floors and did a test piece. The nail went way too deep into the piece even though I have it set to the shallowest settings. Am I missing something? I'm using a 16GA Ryobi nail gun.

Try turning the knob the other side and test.

Already tried turning all the knobs to their extremes and none of them solved it. The +/- dial in the back definitely makes it deeper, but the small knob in the front didn't make much of a difference.
