So I think I'm going to tilt it back to horizontal and maybe raise up my seat post a bit.
Any tips?
I'm starting to have a bit of buyers remorse...
If your saddle doesn't fit flat then it's not the saddle for you, if you tilt your saddle you will put more pressure on your arms and will be supporting yourself by the arms too much which will lead to more problems.
