'Clipping' is not the same as 'overs',
In theory clipping could be done artificially at less than 0dBFS, but I
don't think that's the issue here.
you can have a brick wall limiter
set to -6dBFS and slam it so the waveform is clipped, even though it is
-6dBFS. So there aren't any overs, just squared off waveforms.
Brick wall limiting doesn't work by clipping the waveform. It's a
compressor with infinite compression ratio and very short attack and
release times. The short attack time will cause a little distortion, but
far less than pure waveform clipping.
