Welcome back!
You have the correct sight picture. Depending on the load and distance your point of aim may be different; usually I have this sight picture and alter my aiming point on the target.

For all my fixed sight revolvers I do the following:
1) Degrease the front sight.
2) Apply a coat of white nail polish, allow it to dry thoroughly.
3) Apply three coats of "Traffic Cone Orange" nail polish (from Wal-Mart), allowing it to dry between coats.
4) (only for stainless) Use a black Sharpie pen to black out the surface of the rear sight.
This really makes that front sight "pop".

I never hold a front sight higher than level with the rear notch. The better technique is to keep the sights aligned and aim higher on the target
For some types of matches I actually adjust the rear sight ( not an option for you here) to hit center of the scoring rings of a police B27 target using a neck hold, aligning the sight picture with the location on target the neck joins the body.
I suspect you are not using 158 grain bullets.
The fixed sights are regulated to hit center with 158 grain ammo, I bet you are using something like the very common these days 130 ( appropriate) grain FMJ ammo.
The best bet with these guns is to find a load that hits where you want without adjusting your sight picture then stick with it.
Us reloaders can tailor loads to make this happen if you get a quirky gun.
Even with sky high primer prices, it still makes steady use of a 38 affordable when you reload.

With a patridge front sight that would put you dead on at 50 yards for the PPC Match 3.
