RE: aiming a recurve
Everything has an effect. You have to train your mind. Shoot upclose. Your mind will make adjustments. You don't need to aim to throw a basketball. Your mind makes the adjustments for windage, elevation, speed, etc. Start up close and shoot, when you are hitting 2" square, over and over, move back 3 yards, continue moving back to where you feel comfortable, then change up your shots close, and far.
Hitting left or right could be your hold on the bow, your cant. head cant, etc.

Where is your nock point on the string? Would moving your nock up slightly solve the problem? I have a brass nockpoint on my string at dead center, I have to nock just over it to avoid shooting high with aluminum arrows.

For someone shooting 3 months, I'd really suggest using a gap method.

If you do not want to get gap dependent, you can make a small mark on your riser with a water based pin and use that for a refernce point. I had to do that with a kid one time, just so he could get and idea on where to hold the bow. After a while, the mark wore off, or he wipped it off. But it worked great just to give him an idea. I only did that, because he could not quite get the gap method down. He is now a great instinctive shooter. Much better than I. [&o]
