I'll have a look at it. But also, if I can tighten it up and the obvious bouncing goes, that's a winner.
I've just added almost 100psi to the rear shock so it's now at 275psi, sag is 25%
When adding shock pressure, do you always measure again after a few bounces and or sag test, because it seems to lose 10-20psi each inflation, presumably from the pump being removed and the air settling in the pos/neg chambers?

You shouldn't lose too much air when you remove the pump, but some have a two stage screw so you lose even less. I find it's the hose filling when you re-attach it which causes the pressure drop.
Yes you should always cycle the shock a few times after making major pressure changes to make sure the chambers are equalised.

Are you not using the twinlock lever? As long as the cables are tight, then this will always give the right amount of cable pull. The shock should have a little white line on the blue dial. This should end up pointing between two white lines etches on the shock body when it is locked.
