Barrel/Mouthpiece fitting

I've been having problems with my barrel. It's a smidgen too wide, so it tends to wobble a little. I plan to buy a tuning ring to help the upper joint connection, but the mouthpiece connection bothers me. I have had the corks replaced on the upper joint and mouthpiece, but it still wobbles. I have even had the mouthpiece cork widened all the way it can go, but it still wobbles. It's a snug fit, still. In the middle of my practices, the my mouthpiece starts to bend inwards, and my throat tones go just a smidgen flat (but enough to bother me). I've enclosed pictures. They aren't the greatest, but I have to leave soon.

I've tried floss - It doesn't work very well. Either that or I suck at applying it. Any ideas on what I can do?

Thanks in advance
