Yeah, this is the fundamental tension in modern physics: are best theories are not consistent with each other (so we know they’re wrong or partial) and every experiment we do to test them confirms them to within measurement error.

It’s exactly the sort of situation that precedes a paradigm shift and it’s very hard to predict exactly what will trigger one.
