Brooks Saddle Help

Ok so i just got a new brooks Saddle B17.

I do very much like it, but im having difficult getting it to the right place.

So initially i hade it pretty much flat and i was using bullhorns, but i kept feeling like i was sliding forward.

So then i popped it up one knotch so the nose was angled up and at the same time i switched to risers. I did about a 15 mile ride, and when i was done my "soft tissue" was freaking killing me- and there was definitely some blood flow being short changed as well.

Finally yesterday i popped it down to practically level again (see image below)


and i went for a ride and it felt much more comfortable on my "soft tissue" but then i found myself slipping again as i was going downhill.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
