This might seem obvious, but are you sure that the S mic is actually sideways? Since the 414 has switchable patterns it might not be immediately apparent that it must be at a 90 degree angle to the other 414. This is also not meant to be insulting, as assuming you recorded it correctly and matrixed it right, there shouldn't be a large level discrepancy assuming you weren't recording something on the far left/right side!
