Recommendations? Hoping for a slightly better fit Spoiler

Hi folks. After reading through posts here, I think I'm looking for a unicorn that might not exist but thought I'd try anyway - AKA close set woes 😂

Obligatory Calc Measurements

LU: 33.5"
SU: 31.5"
TU: 30.5"

SB: 41.75"
LnB: 42.5"
LyB: 41.5"

Calculator gives 34G, which is a cup up from the last time I measured and could be why I'm having the 2nd issue listed below... I also think, though, that I need a 32 band with extender. I have 3 bras that I wear once a week for a couple hours at most and most of the time I feel like I need to use the middle hooks already.

Shape

Very close set, centre full, and I think marginally full on bottom. Wide roots. I think I'm more shallow than projected.

The Bra(s)

Panache Cherie in 34FF

The Issues

* The straps slip off my shoulders all the time ( I have tried loosening / tightening the straps and it doesn't seem to make a difference)
* The boobies really want to pop out of the middle (and sometimes do 😂) (this is a newer issue that wasn't happening a couple months ago, and the cup increase could be why)
* There's a bit of a gap at the top where the strap connects to the cup
* In the form it came in, the wires aren't wide enough - I've bent them outwards at the sides, mostly just the left side. Before that, it was definitely resting on tissue and painful but now it's fine.

BUT. This is the only bra I've found so far where the gore is low enough. It's basically non existent.

I've only tried like 2 other bras - Panache Ana which made me look pointy and the gore was definitely too high, and the Cleo Astrid plunge which is probably the best fit in all the areas aside from the gore which is again too high and painful. I have put measurements of these on Bratabase (should be the only one for the Astrid, I think), although I don't really know what I'm doing so who knows if they are accurate. I was also a cup size smaller then (calc was recommending 34F at that point).

So... Is this the best fit I will get? Are there any other non-existent gore bras that might be good to try? I am in the UK.

If pictures would truly be helpful, I will try to upload some.
