Generally tamping harder is not a great solution. It seems it can lead to channelling etc.
So I’d either grind fewer beans on the finer setting or more beans on the coarser setting.
WDT makes a huge difference. @Sainsburys_Ed get a naked portafilter and watch your coffee spray everywhere, then use a WDT and the channelling and spraying will almost completely stop.

Try tamping harder first. Do you have a WTD tool? They definitely help with shot consistency.
Set up looks great though. Got me thinking about one of those machines now.
