Hi & welcome! I suspect it's the lower light. In general, leaves can curl & bend in insufficient light, in attempt to expose more surface to the light. You might also want to inspect for thrips/spider mites with a magnifying glass. Look on the backs of the leaves and in the crotches where leaves split from the crown.

Also agree, keeping it moist could be suffocating/rotting the roots, depending on soil type. Roots need oxygen & moisture at the same time to function. Most potting soil has such tiny particles that the only way for roots to get some air is to let it dry significantly before watering again. Adding a significant amount of perlite to potting soil (the next time you repot this plant) can help combat that.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
