Need opinions on ceiling reflections


All,I have a soffit that is running length-wise on the LEFT side of the ceiling (picture in my system). The ceiling is 8' and the soffit part drops down about 1'. The speakers and sound panels are positioned with a precision of 1/8th of an inch and it sounds amazing - especially on the RIGHT side. The music appears to come from way back and way outside the RIGHT speaker and you can actually "look" that images of various instruments playing in those empty spaces. But I have a heard time "seeing" those images on the LEFT side speaker. I have a feeling that this issue happens because the reflection point on the left side ceiling is a foot lower than the one on the right side ceiling. I was planning of getting some acoustic foam and attach it to the ceiling using T-pins (since it is a textured ceiling and foam tapes will not work). I assumed that this will absorb the reflections and could work on restoring the proper timing/clarity on left side.

Could you guys weigh in and let me know your thoughts? Please feel free to let me know if I am off and the issue is completely different.

I installed 3 GIK 244 panels on my 8ft ceiling and should've did it long ago! I would consider it just as important as the side walls and boy oh boy does my room sound fantastic.
@milpai You don’t want it flush but the same distance from the ceiling as the thickness of the panel , the optional cloud brackets from GIK are great and perfect for this.
Bass response! doing so effective makes a say a 4inch panel 8" . Here are a few links to explain further and a few installation options as well.
