How much are you varying the angle? Very small differences (talking 0.5 degree in saddle angle can make a big difference).
Use a chopping board/flat surface and an app on your phone to see how many degrees nose down your saddle is. Find what angle your hands/squashables feel comfy in the hoods, and then drop saddle angle by o.2 degrees every 3 or so proper rides (>30k) until things feel good in both drops and hoods. Then make a note of saddle height, setback and angle so you can replicate it if things ever get messed up or need to change. Sounds a pain but once things are dialled in you'll forget saddle related misery exists.

Hi all, I've got a composit on trial at the moment, and am busy fettling with the angle to see if I can get it right. At the moment I'm struggling to find a good angle that suits both when on the hoods and on the drops. Comfy on the hoods seems a bit ball squashing on the drops, good on the drops feels a bit too much kick back when on the hoods. Any tips/experience that may help would be appreciated please.
