Dolby Atmos sounding dreadful on multi-driver IEMs?

Hi. I recently got my first ever tribid IEMs, the Moondrop Variations. I've noticed that when connected to my iPhone playing music that supports Dolby Atmos on Apple Music, it sounds terrible and disjointed. This issue is not present on any of my other headphones or single-driver IEMs. Anybody else notice this problem?

On second listen, it's as if only the mid-range driver works. It sounds truly awful.

If you have money to burn maybe buy a coupler and measure? Also FYI I believe Variations comes shipped with inverted polarity.
