Your biggest issue is that the center of mass is way off which is going to wear out your arms faster than if your camera body was directly mounted on top of your shoulder pad. You want to have the bulk of the weight of your rig actually resting square on your shoulder.
If you counter weight your rig correctly it should actually center itself without you holding the handle bars, (obviously don't shoot this way) especially with that long and heavy lens you have. This should be the first adjustment you make. This change would allow you to shoot for hours as opposed to minutes at a time. Gravity + time will tire out the strongest among us.
As far as lens shifting that is actually normal on a longer lens and a non-locking mount. You'll want to look into accessories like:

As far as your monitor situation, I would honestly go the EVF route, especially when shoulder rigging it outdoors. It's a more expensive solution but it will save you a ton of stress and decrease the likelihood that you miss focus on a shot in the bright sun. I tried the 7" field monitor solution but it just didn't get the job done well and it added more front heavy weight to the rig, which meant I had to counter weight the back and then I had a very net heavy rig.
I also highly recommend the Tilta Nucleus Nano follow focus system. It's affordable, dependable, and it's wireless, which opens up a ton of mounting (or non mounting) possibilities, which would consequently allow that matte box to get closer to the lens. I think otherwise you're going to continuously struggle with the manual FF obstructing the matte box. Because the wheel has to be in proximity of the gear ring, you're very limited on where you can place the wheel on your rig. The Nano throws that issue right out the window.
A cheaper work around would be to get a lens hood for your lens so it extends out a bit further and can butt up against the donut in the matte box. I have actually used a set of step up rings in the past to accomplish a similar feat.
