The "saddle height analysis pic" should be with the right pedal at 6 o'clock, and your right HEEL on the pedal (not clipped in), and no leaning of the hips. In this position, your leg should almost be straight. Though looking at the pic, I can kind of make out that the left leg is somewhat in that position and appears to be bent way too much. The saddle may need to go up a bunch, maybe 3-5cm to achieve the straight leg, which will also likely mean you have to then move the saddle forward a little to keep you over the pedals properly, and you can use the standard KOPS method for that (knee over pedal spindle). There's lots of videos on YouTube for setting saddle height, and setting saddle fore/aft position using these methods, though everyone's physiology is a little different.
