Another bad voltage regulator?

Went and got a replacement chinese Vr and now the voltage is holding steady at 15.7v under all conditions. I let it get up to temperature and it got closer to 15.6v.
The power difference from battery to the Vr connector is about 1.2v lower than it should be. So I’m assuming that’s why the alternator is now putting out about 1.2v higher than it should.
Now to solve the harness drop.
