Last year my kid's semi-adult boots had a thinner toe piece which required raising the afd higher than normal to obtain proper spacing. How isn't that raising the floor and resultant angle?
OP doesn't tell us if this is a new setup or if he's trying to dial in a tested setup.
I'm not a super expert skier so....while my new setup seems to put me too far back, when I jumped into a slalom training course that forced me to turn quickly on ice, guess what, after a couple nonathletic turns I got my hands forward and did fine (for me) without too much skidding. Trying to make athletic movements with a laid back posture is not going to apply pressure to the right part of the ski. Eliminate the variables; check afd spacing, address mechanics, tune skis, try spoiler, then break out the duct tape.
