To be sure, are you trying to get the above-the-staff E (E6) by overblowing the staff-2nd-space A, and get the above-the-staff F (F6) by overblowing the 3rd line Bb?
I don't think those are your best fingerings on any bass (except a contra), and that normal Bb soprano fingerings (except press and slide your LH index finger down to reveal the small hole) could still be better on most basses up to F6.
There are fingering sites out there, such as:

If your Tosca is new and these fingerings don't work, then perhaps your Tosca is not set up well (I'm amazed how poorly some expensive new horns are delivered!)
or if you played an inferior horn before, you may have developed some habits to 'coax' some notes out, and you may need to 'un-learn' them now.
