your best bet is to slowly move it closer to a light source. really slowly, like six inches a week or so. if you notice the leaves pointing down or any signs of sunburn, move it back a bit, and this way you should be able to find a spot where it gets the most amount of light it can tolerate. i find it’s best with any change in condition to go as slowly as possible with plants, many aroids especially are very sensitive to sudden environment changes

I think I do this by accident and this is great advice. Thank you.

Brighter indirect light should work. Try not the burn the leaves, if you see signs of burn move to another spot.

It comes down to genetics. You can’t make a plant be more variegated if it’s not in its genes. Light can help promote the variegation but if the genetics are not there to have more variegation, it won’t. PPPs and WPPs are some of the plants which variegation is strictly dependent on genetics. Light won’t make them more variegated.

This applies to white princesses as well
