I also find I have to hold the EH further out than most. Make sure you have a bocal that is at an angle that allows you to do this.

I played with a clarinet player who had an older style support. It attached to the thumb rest, came out from the horn perpendicular and ended with an arc that sat around the abdomen. I have no idea where one is available (perhaps you may know someone who can manufacture something?) but this would prevent the swaying that your thumb cannot.

Perhaps also look into someone who can add plates to those pinky keys to extend them so you don't have to stretch?
