Wedge
Sounds like the leg is still trimmed too far in, you nay need to wedge the bottom of the transom plate out for more lift

Pic
Any chance you can post a pic showing a side profile of the motor and its relationship to the transom?

Long- leg or short
You may have the wrong length leg on your transom, you will need to take a few measurements of the transom and leg and confirm with someone in the know .
