Are you use to handguns? if this is your first, have some else try it, and also check that they look like they are lined up.
I am helping a new fellow with his first gun, stricker fired 9mm, and he says he can't hit the target with it and something wrong with the gun.
I shot it and it shoots to point of aim at 15rds, So? my point is that that gun is not right for him as a first gun, with just a few days of handgun shooting.
BTW, back to your question, I don't know about the sights, they should, but if you change the back, the front may be too low.

They are shooting low when I bring the front sight up it blocks the target
Probably need to use s combat sight picture (dot covering target vs top of sight).
When the front is lined up with the top even with the sides of the rear notch it should block half of the target. Assuming of course that you're trying to aim for the middle of the target. This is very typical of a fixed sights "combat" handgun.
In the picture below you see three options. The first is really only used by classic bullseye shooters. It works but only because they have adjustable sights and shoot at the same size target at the same distance ALL THE TIME ! Changing distance or changing target size will foul up the 6 o'clock hold proportionally to the amount of change.
For action shooting or plinking at various targets and at a variety of distances you want to use picture 2 or 3. And most folks use picture 2. Picture three is really the same thing but you're using the white dots instead of the upper edges of the sights. But the alignment of the sights and impact point is the same for 2 or 3. Or rather from 2 to 3 there is a shift in the POI of the distance from the top of the sights to the middle of the white dots or tritium windows.
But a lot (most?) of us don't have the white dots to use in dim lighting. So we line things up as per sketch 2.

PM 'Still alive' and meet him next time he's at the range. He can tell you if it's you or the gun.
^^^Do this. Great guy, helped me a lot in a single session. But BCRider is correct, from what I've read, the Beretta pattern guns were setup with sight image 3. My Girsan shots like this.
