so it was a sort of AB positioning?
The stereo width with this method is defined by the distance between the two mics, so if you want it wider you need to record with more distance between the mics..but be careful, if the distance is too much you will have a "hole" in the center. You can add a third mic (omni, with the two sides cardioid) paying attention to attenuate it just the need to fill the hole.

One question, you say "roughly panned 75%" but then you say "hard panned L&R"...which one is the one you're doing? with stereo recording you MUST hard pan the mics or you will have phase issue!


Last thought, you can also wide the stereo image with some plugin
