I picked this up the hard way on the ZWO the first time with a whole lot of stuffed Mars captures.
Not knowing exactly how you tested this it's difficult to comment, but I would have expected that the green signal would be very high if your were imaging a bright green card. However, it appears to me that the gain on the ZWO ASI224 is set too high if you are seeing clipping in the green, and no amount of offset in FC can fix this. A better test would be a colour checker chart (if you have one) or a colourful shirt (even the old ABC test pattern ).
