This is intentional, Arianism needs to become the main branch and have Chalcedonian be its heresy for it to be possible to install an Arian papacy.
Arianism needs to overtake Chalcedonian in number of provinces.
Provinces that are fully Arian, same as the vanilla heresy switch mechanic.

They have a bonus +10 opinion amongst themselves, compensating the penalty. For all others it reflects their slightly sectarian nature.
We have used few to none primary sources (as in material from the period itself), so we rely entirely on the research made by historians who are specialised on the period, whether Late Antiquity or the Early Middle Ages depending on the periodisation. Books, but also articles in specialised publications are therefore the main source of information. A few bits and pieces can be found online, but except for some digitalised primary sources and maybe maps everything you find online paraphrases books and articles in itself, or is unreliable.
That doesn't seem to be working properly then. When I was playing a Hypsistarian my family and other Hypsistarians all had the -1 without a compensating bonus. Shouldn't the -18 infidel penalty cover other religions hating them though?
