I would suggest plugging off the drain in the cup for now as the skimmate in the cup will be the best indicator of how the skimmer is performing. Color of the skim as well as volume of skim being collected. I might suggest closing the wedge pipe a tiny tiny bit but before doing so, it would be good to let it run for 24 hours with the drain plugged off so it collects in the cup. If you do decide to close the wedge, no more than 1/8 of an inch would do the trick. Just a crack so it raises the water level ever so slighly. Be sure to plug the drain so we can see what's collecting in there.

Then report back in the thread below as I would like to keep this current thread more about what people's final setup is so we can use it as a reference point for what is working for different people with different skimmers. The thread below will be used as a reference point for how we go about setting the different skimmers up and what to look for when doing so. Your install is a perfect example for that thead.
