L2 never Filling

I love Primocache but honestly I haven't been able to get my L2 above 1tb approx because Primocache appears to constantly be dumping files from L2 without a reason. Last night for instance the unused L2 was 1.95TB, this morning it's 1.96? I did purchase the Pro license to use the larger l2 when I got it, however it's never been able to use it. I'm currently debating redoing the cache again, and trying to give each spinner it's own 1tb partition.
Right now I have the C:\ cached to L1, and the 3 spinners cached to L1 and L2. The L2 is partitioned currently as 512GB Write, 2.5TB Read. Before it was not using the individual Read and Write option and was just the entire drive as Read/Write, essentially the same thing was going on I'd built 1tb of cache over months and right now I've got around 512gb.
If use case makes any difference, all 3 14tb drives are for games from various store fronts and emulation. The idea was for Primo Cache to handle what data is on the L2 SSD rather me choosing to install some games to the drive myself. The nearly 80gb of L1 handles almost all the write cache and since using Individual Read and Write Cache to L2 I've noticed the 512gb of L2 Write cache has never been touched not once. L2 immediately starts to fill but only fills a tiny bit and then appears to essentially just quit.
Honestly, I'd just like to find a way to use more of the large SSD or if it's not possible just only use a 1tb L2 as that seems to be a hidden limit even with Primocache Pro. Like I said, debating on using 3 1tb L2 partitions because I can't ever get PrimoCache to use more than approx 1tb in l2 and maybe having separate smaller partitions would finally get PrimoCache to use more.
