That's my understanding too. I'm also under the impression that RH is harder to maintain at lower temps.

You have more than enough beads. If possible, I'd suggest raising your temp by 2 or 3 degrees and see how that works. If you can't, try a Johnson controller like this. Not sure about the site, but I've read that people have used this successfully to increase their fridge temps, which will help get a handle on RH.
