There may be more causes...based on your comments about the importance of eye placement I'd suspect #2...

Thankyou for the reply. I purchased a shroud for the lightbridge haven't tested it yet, would that help you reckon?

Or is having correct eye placement a normal thing to do with large dobs and premium eyepieces? Thanks for your help.
