Yeah, like the others said switch to your tether. I climb SRT mostly, and rarely is my climbing rope where I want to actually hang from, so switching to a tether is a must. Little things like the height of your tether, the length of your bridge, and the angle it all creates can have a big impact on comfort.
Also, if your bridge can be adjusted where it attaches to the bridge loops, try messing with that too. Lower and it pulls more from the bottom, higher and it pulls more on your back. It's another adjustment to help get your comfort dialed in
this^^^ I have to adjust my jewels and sometimes they are most comfy when they are heldin place with tighter legs straps……I’d never cut mine off btw.
My bridge loops don’t have adjustable positions, but I will unload, move down my bridge on the loop, pinch it and load again. Grabbing lower on the bridge loop definitely helps by pulling more on the lower half.
