The best advice: Go back and recenter for your "true south" satellite then work east and west verifying reality. Make sure the bird you think you are on is really the bird you are on.

Things I've done to avoid going back into unpleasant weather:
Fudging the longitude by 2 degrees. In your case try west first (+2) and compare with LyngSat. If that doesn't seem to match go east (-2 from the original value) and compare again. It is late, my math is suspect at all hours.

Alternatively you could reconfigure each satellite by ~2 degrees.
