    check your settings on page 2 and 3 (the small white globe)
    I can´t get the highlights the way they look in your example

    I get an almost similar look by NOT aligning the gradient overlay of the with the layer small inner globe,rasterizing the effects and then turning it with 180 deg.

    PS: and by setting the scale on 37% instead of 105%

    i’ve got the same problem as lievena
    but i tried to move the center of radial gradient when you are applying settings on layer style and it works!
