So, I tell students to think of taking the "corners" of their mouthes BACK and DOWN (rather than "up and out" =smile, or even "in" which is sorta bunchy). From my perspective you are using your lower lip as a slight buffer between reed and lower teeth. Getting that thinner and flatter allows the reed to vibrate without too much damping. Everything about the embouchure and use of air is a balancing act between those two forces and amongst their constituent parts.
