Your chest d-rings look too low. On the third photo you can see the left d-ring from under your arm....that means it is most likely too low. Moving it up will bring front of bottle closer to your body.
 
Is the dring directly threaded onto the harness webbing?

In the pic of your left side I would have the Dring's triglide almost up by the "Z" of zero. When you are standing it will be level with the proximal end of the collar bone.
 
Well, when I set up my harness I positioned the d-ring by bending my arm at the elbow, holding it parallel to the floor and positioned the d-ring where my thumb touched my chest. That is at more or less the bottom of my collar bone.

Since first diving with Sea Biscuit I have moved it further up twice.

I guess third time is the charm. :dork2: Although I must admit that I did not move it very far the previous two times. About an inch or so.

...

Now after moving it up a third time it now sits at the top of my collar bone, about level with the top of my shoulder.
