My cousin's dance club cut down this huge piece of their tree and she gave it to me. I immediately planted it into this pot and it even got some new growth super quickly, and, while I was expecting the older leaves to wilt, I didn't expect them to do so only on the sun side.

The difference in sun exposure explains that. I second the opinion that your substrate is the problem. Use a gritty mix like the other user suggested, at least 50% drainage. The transition away from peat is going to kill a lot of houseplants!
