I would drop the moisture meter, it's throwing you off.
After watering, let the soil dry out for a day then stick your finger in the pot. If the root zone is bone dry then water it, if it is moist like a sponge then wait another day. If it is like a muddy swampy soup, you need more perlite and most likely larger drain holes in the pot. This will help you better gauge the watering cycle.
Transplant is very traumatic for the plant, and sometimes they do not make it. These plants were stressed at a young age which made surviving the transplant much harder.
Your doing good, soil looks much better. What's most important is to learn from mistakes made.
