I just moved from GA to Colorado Springs and have a drop-in boost I feel isn’t normal.
I assumed my boost numbers might drop, but I went from maxing out my stock readings at 36.7 psi on my 3rd Gen swapped 17’ (S364) to now I can’t get it over 29-30 psi.
It seems sluggish at WOT, but mostly everyday daily driving.
Am I worrying too much?
I did a boost leak test and have no leaks.

Your fixed vane turbo has to work harder and spin faster to create the same boost at higher altitudes, temperatures, and air densities.
If you don’t have any leaks, I wouldn’t worry about it.

I noticed a big difference in performance with my 2nd Gen S467.7 going from the mountains of Western NC to MD, visiting the wife's family.
The significant gain in power is at sea level.
