Default New anchor with red dot

I I got a "DEAS" red dot scope mount for My PSE Fire Storm Light.
Only problem is, with the scope tight up against the riser, the scope center is still 3/4" to the left of My center shoot (right hand bow)

This is a problem (for Me) because my old anchor (with a peep) had my shooting eye in line with the string.
So now with this set up my "aiming eye" has to be 3/4" to the left of the string.

I have it set up and shooting, but it feels "weird" because I am holding the "anchor point" off my face to get my eye 3/4" to the left.

If My release hand was farther back, it would put the string in the right place for this new setup, but do I increase the draw length, or use a longer release ??

Thanks,

How about one of the HHA Optimizer mounts?

Looks like the HHA still puts the scope "against" the riser in the "sight window", since on most bows the "center shot" is about 1/2" - 3/4" off the riser, the scope can never get close enough to the riser to be in line.
