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.

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!
