<<However, I know I should be able to bring my jaw a bit more forward for pitch support, but that lower lip somehow gets in the way every time>>

Betcha this 'rule' was written by someone whose upper/lower lip profile probably doesn't match yours. If i were you, be more selective in screening out oboe players no matter how worthy a name they are, and look only for examples of players with the relatively thin upper and fuller lower lip combination that resembles your own, even in smaller proportions, and observe / ask what they do

Every embouchure is unique, so only the owner can really find it for themselves. Sometimes it's found by just jamming around, it seems to settle down and play just right when you're relaxed and not obsessing about any rules at all
