You have to understand its difficult to answer this question in a wide manner. We have no idea what Indonesia has for fertilizer nor what ratio of N-P-K....
But basically everything in even amounts meaning not excessive rain, drought or nutrients has always worked for me..

I assume this is "dry" and not liquid? The reason for this question is liquid nutes are more readily available to plants than dry that needs to dissolve in order to be available.
Having said that, 16-16-16 is very strong (Depending on a soil analysis that I know you haven't have done.) and should probably be used at 1/4 recommended strength and probably 1/2 the time frame recommendation.
The only other thing is to proceed slowly, changes don't happen quickly but over a period of time, and monitor results.

Your English better than my Indonesian so I'll use one of your pix to illustrate your wanted plant growth habit. Your current plant...............................
...has a tall growth pattern with big leaves and few fruit?
As far as I know here is no fertilizer that will change a pepper plants inherit growth pattern because of its DNA. The only plant I ever grew with that type of growth was a Habanero from Bonnie that I think is a hybrid sorry no side view-it was compact.
Edit: Forgot, where do you buy your seeds from?

You will definitely NOT change plant growth habit by manipulating NPK. You can definitely change plant growth habit by altering environmental variables. But to do that, you'd need to build a climate controlled building over your plants. Otherwise, your climate dictates how your plant grows, when all essential nutrients are available. The best you can do, is keep the plants growing well, and keep the pests down.
.
If anything, you want to keep the soil temp cooler, and reduce high plant UV exposure, while still providing adequate lumen. This is why I recommended to you that you use SHADE CLOTH instead of plastic. Plastic severely inhibits light, and also traps heat and humidity. It will definitely cause long growth of plants.

Don't think that's gonna happen, see OPs pic below from 2017-2018 grow fields ...

I'm certainly not suggesting that he/she would. Just that if you want to change growth habit, that's what you'd have to do it. It's why people who live in Canada can raise better looking plants than people in Florida, even when the varieties are identical.
.
The main point is that expecting better plants by fiddling with NPK, is NOT the answer.

I'm unfamiliar with the nutrient you use, , Haifa Multi-K , maybe someone else can help?

I ran the name on that seed packet through google here in the US and the results were.>ketentuan jaminan ...If you see the same results as I do you'll note its not in English so we haven't a clue what it is you're growing. Below is what we would see in the US.
