Kennard, Khalili Samani, and Searle showed that for a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-torus acting on a closed, positively curved Riemannian $n$-manifold, $M^{n}$, with a non-empty fixed point set for $n$ large enough and $r$ approximately half the dimension of $M$, then $M^n$ is homotopy equivalent to $S^n$, $\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n}$, $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{\frac{n}{2}}$, or a lens space. In this paper, we lower $r$ to approximately $2n/5$ and show that we still obtain the same result.
