Shortest answer - sounds like you’re running a bit soft on air.
How much sag you getting? Fork feels smooth?
Short answer, doesn’t matter. If you like how it rides who cares. I know a few riders who would build their own Fox forks - in the days of coil neg springs - partly compressed to get much better small bump (at the cost of a bit of free sag).
Longer answer, if you didn’t like the free sag you could try a lighter neg spring. At 155lbs before I changed the spring I would grease the seals/bushings and reassemble the fork extended. If that didn’t help then I’d spend the $10 or whatever to try one rate lighter than stock.
