Bias/Background are going to primarily effect the low light color balance.
Drive is going to primarily effect the high light color balance.
There is absolutely interactivity between the two, but each is designed to have a greater effect on the color balance at their own brightness levels.
You want to correct for the low light color balance with the Bias/Background controls and correct for the brightest white color balance with the Drive controls.
However, because there is interactivity, you have to go back and forth between the two. Correct the grey at 20 IRE (fairly dark grey) with the Background controls, then display 100 IRE white (brightest white) and color correct with the Drive controls. Each correction will knock the other one out a little bit. The goal is to go back and forth until you reach the point where they are as even as possible from darkest to brightest.
So when you said this "I tested it with going full brightness as that seems to highlight the color that's up too high."
You don't want to turn up the brightness until you get a white raster and then try to color balance with the background controls. If that's what you are doing.
The idea is to be in a completely pitch black room and just barely turn the brightness up so you can see a dark grey raster, and then make that as perfect as you can get it with the backgrounds, without turning up the brightness. Then you switch to bright white and do the Drives, switch back, rinse repeat.
This often involves covering windows with cardboard or blankets to get the room dark enough and using flashlights to locate adjustment pots.
