It looks like you've self identified most of the issues I'd point out.
Pull your knees up a bit, so they're not dropping into your boots.
Bicep armor should be angled directly to the left and right of your body approximately at he 9 and 3 oclock positions. Bicep armor should be angled slightly forward, approximately at the 10 and 2 oclock positions.
Velcro helps to hold all those parts in place on your flight suit.
Question -- where is your helmet from? In your original post you said it was from Kropserkel, but that doesn't look like a Kropserkel helmet? Is that a New Image helmet?
 

I bought the helmet off a member of the Replica Prop Forum a few years ago. He said it was a Kropserkel and that he assembled and painted himself as a display piece. I didn’t really have any reason to doubt him because I didn’t know about different helmets so I just assumed that’s what it was. It’s construction is all abs, just like the SC kit If that makes a difference.

Just curious. There's no issue with the helmet for clearance, but it doesn't look like a Kropserkel helmet, which is in the photo below.

Oh my, no it does not. I tend to like whatever my helmet is better than that Kropserkel. Thank you for pointing that out!

Thank you, I really appreciate that! Had a few missteps in the beginning but slowly but surely it’s coming together!
