but neither of those have a noticable effect in altitude right?
Not so. If these are set incorrectly (mostly the prop mix), you will not produce sufficient lift to get far off the ground. This is an extreme example, though.
I would set both your gyro gain and prop mixes to their middle points, adjust prop mix to negate any yaw and then finish with the gyro gain, realizing that you may have to go back and adjut prop mix after any gain adjustment.
Try that and let us know what happens.
