What spec foam are you buying?
I have some evazote and measuring it with a durameter stone glaciers foam has the same score. It would be nice to have some denser foam. I carry the denser foam from the barneys lumbar pad and put it in for pack outs.

honestly i have no clue lol. i went to a foam store in town and they had sheets of this 1" thick foam it was pretty similar to the density that was in the packs already just thicker.
so bought a 4ft sheet for 40$ and did both my backpacks took only 2 hours to do. the hardest part is trying to push the thicker foam back into the shoulder straps.
then just went to an upholstery shop and got them to stitch up a could areas that I had to rip the stitching out.
think i paid them 20$ took like 5mins to do.

I am having a hard time following. Had a previous move straps down, now this one is up.

Did you add foam to your shoulder straps?

And, in the photo of your belt where is the top of the belt in that photo?

There should not be a gap here. The solution can be several things. Lengthing strap, relaxing load lifters and positioning the point at which the load lifters attaches to the strap is right at your collar bone.

When you put your pack on, loosen all the should straps, load lifters and chest strap. Buckle the waist belt, tighten. Put on bottom straps of the shoulder straps until they touch from back to front. Pull load lifters until the pack touches your back. Chest strap last. It's sole purpose if to keep the shoulder straps from sliding into your arm pits.
