I didn't have to do it, but I have heard of people putting pieces of the foam weatherstripping on the nose block to help with sealing rather than the hard nose piece. Might be worth a shot!

When you took delivery of the masks their should be a few pieces of rubber that are there in different thickness sizes that will go down in one of the nose blocks. If none of those work take one and glue foam or what i use is a piece of old scrap 7mm wet suit. I have the exact problem as you and had to double up the wetsuit piece on the left side of the nose block to get it sealed.

Glue some neoprene into the nose block to build it out, or use the little extra pieces that should have come with your guardian. Also - pull the nose block off, and check the wire frame piece behind it, so you can adjust where it lands on your face...

I customized mine a little bit and it clears very easily for me now.

What glue did you use?

[almog]

I Insta-cure + ( the purple not the blue) its a scale module glue that melts the materials together.( not a 5 second glue )
