Are you running a mix of l4s and l5s And l7/8 weapons or do you have a fairly homogenous group?

I'm not sure where the sub-levels start mattering, but the issue is likely more about what weapons/bots you have in use- and how you use them! A rather than the levels themselves. Running a hanger of exclusively l4 bots/l8 weapons and doing just fine in Silver. I get 5 gold more frequently than 10, but I'm still thriving.

The bots you use in Silver and the way you use them will need to be vastly different. There are bots that are now viable but which weren't before and vice versa, as well as role changes that will need to happen. I could get into the tactics changes I had to make, but load out comes first.

As a hanger priority, in, a 4 bot hanger (I'm assuming you unlocked the 4th slot), what roles do you fill? You'll probably want 1 blazing lay fast bot, 2 knife fighters and 1 mid range support (CRV Pins being ideal, since molots aren't that great and Tridents/Zueses are so expensive.

What bots do you use? What weapons do they have? Destriers are right out, Vitayaz' are now too fragile to knife fight (since the boa is now fast enough to use) and anything relying on Gaus is going to live a very depressing life.

In short, assuming you push to l4/l8 bots/weapons uniformly and consider your load outs carefully you'll be able to keep up.
