My fiddle leaf fig has finally stopped dropping leaves, and I think I've cracked it—turns out mine was drowning, not thirsty

My fiddle leaf fig has finally stopped dropping leaves, and I think I've cracked it—turns out mine was drowning, not thirsty. I kept moving it around chasing the "perfect" light, but it just needed to stay put and dry out between waterings. It's been in the same corner for three months now and is putting out new growth. Has anyone else found that these are actually way less dramatic once you stop fussing with them?
