String slapping my face

I've researched this, but can't seem to fix it. I got out of trad bows after a couple shoulder surgeries. I ordered a 64" PMA thinking the extra length would be easier on them as I was finally able to shoot again. Bow is great, just like the other six widows I've had.

But I can not quit hitting my face and nose with the string when I shoot normally. I sacrificed one of my tabs by trimming it down a little at a time. Tried not leaning into the string, bringing the hand to the face (which I've always done anyway), adjusting my anchor higher, 3 under and split, etc...

I shot 60" and 62" bows with the same style of shooting for years and never dealt with this. Anybody else have that happen going to a longer bow? What am I missing? I hate to shorten my anchor since it makes me feel like I'm totally out of alignment and makes it harder to keep good back tension.

It irritates me so much when it happens I'm literally about to sell the bow. Just don't want to wait a year.
It's gotten to the point where basic common sense, about a lot of things these days, doesn't make a lot of sense to most people.
