Matt,
Try getting into position without the jacket or rifle. Try your current position and see if it feels stable. Then try moving your left elbow about 2" left, and see if it is more stable.
The jacket can mask problems, and the rifle set-up can force you into old positions (habits).
Going back to basics, and building a stable, comfortable position without the equipment should help. Then add just the jacket and try the position.
Finally, loosen all adjustments on the rifle and get into the new position, and have someone set the adjustments to the new position.
