I think you are right, there is no way you can slowdown light inside the fiber :-) So for sure everything we see as added latency compared to the baseline of traveling the cable distance must be something else, like software or other hardware.

Light is slower in a fiber, the refractive coefficient is pretty big, almost 1.5.

  Yes, but the math was done in the speed of light inside the fiber, so any additional time you find in the RTT, must be software/hardware, or that you under-estimated length of the path.
