I did a salt test before even seasoning my humidor and it was at 72 so I calibrated it to 75. Then, a week later I did a "towel test" and it was at 98% which is where it was supposed to be. So the hygrometer is fine. Any suggestions? I know this has been answered, but it is a little different for everyone imho.

Be patient. Give it time (week or more) to stabilize.
And if it is still at 60-61, ask yourself "how are the cigars smoking?" If you are happy with the cigars, don't sweat a few percentage points.
