I think dependng on your physical build or stature everyone sorta has their own stance. Try the modified weaver stance like you mentioned. Body turned more at 40 degrees to target. Knees slighly bend, leaning slightly forward into recoil. Balance is important.Go through several fast drills. From a low ready to tactical position as fast as you can. Positioning of the butt of shotgun is important. Till you find a comfortable position as described. Then do it with live ammo. You will know when butt of shotgun is in wrong place.That your bicep is bruisd tells me you are holding shotgun too far out and at wrong place. And don't place too high, don't want a broken collar bone. Inside your shoulder in the meat of your breast plate below your collar bone. You will have to turn your body more in order to do this and sight the target.
