Flaps servo travel: how to get more than 1/2 of travel?

Flaps are controlled automatically in position control and auto
but can also be controlled manually

10000 was 5000 originally

So far, the flaps on the main flaps channel only seems to be giving me 1/2 of the servo travel. It goes from PWM 1500 to PWM 2000 (when other servos have a range of 1000-2000). i cannot seem to force this servo to go less than 1500 for the low end. ive tried setting the “PWM Output” values and the mixer values to no effect.
.
I hope this is not hard-coded somewhere inaccessible. i’m a little afraid that someone assumed that flaps only go ‘down’ and would need only 1/2 of servo travel for that? in fact, flaps need (in many airframes) much more travel than the other surfaces, so the servos need to use more than 1/2 the travel.

ok, figured it out. i didnt realize the scale could go over 1 (10000).
