Established alpha males rarely fight. That's why their testosterone levels are surprisingly lower than those of lower-ranking males.
Testosterone makes you sensitive to 'threats to your status.' Aggression can spike just from imagining a threat.
When castrated monkeys were given massive doses of testosterone, they perceived every action as a provocation and fought constantly. However, they weren't obsessed with 'climbing the ranks' but rather 'maintaining their rank.'
Humans pursue social hierarchy in various ways, e.g., creative arts, Nobel prizes, dating, and sports competitions.
If 'kindness' becomes the standard for social status, testosterone will boost morality and fairness to match, even making people refrain from lying.
3-line TL;DR: 1. High testosterone doesn't automatically make you an alpha male. 2. Testosterone makes you sensitive to drops in social status. 3. Testosterone works differently depending on social standards.
