Higher notes sounding so flat.

How can I help my clarinet student sound better with his higher notes? Anything from the G above the top line on the stave and upwards sounds very flat, especially when tonguing and there's an 'underneath' thumping sound accompanying these notes too. They sound really flat and I'm not sure what to suggest. He tells me his embouchure is firm (difficult to tell as we're having online lessons) He plays with a 2.75 Legere reed which I thought would perhaps make a difference from the cane reeds he's been using previously, but they haven't. Mouthpiece is a B45.
