 If your reeds are flat, then I suggest that you try cane with a more narrow shape. The width of the tip is not necessarily the main determiner of pitch. I have found that the throat of the shape (curved part) influences the pitch more.  
 
You could also try using the adjustable Chiarugi staples: https://us.crookandstaple.com/products/chiarugi-adjustable-oboe-staple-set-45-48mm
