    notice the cold side (left) slides much further left than the hot tap slides right. I’m not getting a hot water level that I should have.

    Hi, there is a valve inside that tap called a ceramic cartridge and it controls the flow of hot and cold. Generally when you get issues with these you just swap out that cartridge. Best check online for the right part by looking up the manufacturer's name, but it can be tricky to find the right one...

    If you've done any work to it recently the lever may have been replaced in the wrong position. Take it off and see
