Another check to make sure you have the right approach to the lower lip part of the equation would be to take your right index finger and poke at the area of your embouchure below your lower lip (on the mouthpiece or just on your other index finger for demo purposes). It should be firm and smooth (we used to say stuff like "flatten your chin," or "point your chin"). If it is at all cushy feeling you need to draw back (and down slightly) MORE.

I realize it is not always obvious just by looking at someone execute a good embouchure what they are doing, but this is a really good example:

particularly at 00:23 for example
