Some may disagree, but I've been known to narrow the shape a bit with some silicon carbide abrasive paper to raise the pitch a bit. I don't like to shorten the reed to less than 69mm. One can also narrow the tip a little with a single edged razor blade to raise the pitch a bit. Before Madame Ghys died, I used her cane and had less problems with flat reeds.
You may wish to try a narrower shape.
The makers of store bought reeds used to use 45mm staples, perhaps to keep the pitch up. Good luck!
