I'm not so good with the number system.

If you are referring to the "C" that is the second ledger above the staff, then I have had the same problem with "flat" custom mouthpieces most notably the Gennusa Excellente. There has been (is it fading?) a tendency to give us what we presumably want, a 'dark' sound, by making pitch LOWER. You do this by increasing the volume of the tone chamber. However, it also lowers the INTERNAL pitch of your horn so much that you have pitch issues that cannot be fixed any other way than replacing the mouthpiece.

If you are using a Vandoren 13 Series, the solution is to move to a NON 13 Series mouthpiece.

Oh, and if the "E" and "F" you refer to are the throat notes you CAN raise those by adding the lowest sidekey.
