Have you ever checked the gun with birdshot on a pattern board? The gun may naturally shoot high because of the stock dimensions and your sight picture. You may need to adjust the stock to change Point of Impact.

With a bead sight your eye acts as the rear sight, and the position of your eye when you mount the gun to yur cheek determines where the shot will go. If you are shooting high the stock is too high for you.

You may need to reduce the comb of the gun or get a new stock.
