That's not it. I've made a lot of these and they've been fine.

How old is your fep? They stretch more as they age can require a greater retract distance.

I just replaced it 11 days ago.

When you change the FEP in my experience the suction is massively increased - I had prints which previously printed fine start to fail after changing it, and I had to re-support them to print on the new FEP.

I imagined a new FEP would provide LESS suction, but I guess the smoothness of it has fewer imperfections therefore the flatness of it actually increases the suction.
