in my experience the trick in making these work is getting sleeve and monopole lengths optimised, hundreds of settings tune ok but some work better than others,

you could have less current due to the different detuning effect of the two radial setups moving resonant frequency, antenna mode current in the monopole is highest @3/4wave and lowest @1/2wave,
you could try changing the monopole length a little to see if you can increase current.
