These flanges DO NOT FIT INTO Spectra flanges, must use Medela connectors or Spectra adaptersFeatures 2 pair of Ultra Silicone Flanges (Small and X-Small) and 1 pair Smooth Poly (Medium) hard plastic flanges.Medium flanges made of medical grade hard polypropyleneBe sure to take the Pumpin' Pal Sizing Quiz before you buy!XS and S sizes can also be used as a liner inside the Medium size for added exterior rigidity
Here is a really good example of how a flange should fit. You should have about 1mm or 2 of space left before hitting the side of the flange.
If you are going to buy new sized flanges I would highly recommend getting a set of pumpin pals. They replace your flanges and are angled and molded more comfortably. You can get a set of 3 sizes on Amazon Here and they actually made pumping comfortable! They fit right into any Medela connectors.
That makes me think that your flanges aren't right. There are also pumping pals flanges that are angled so you might be able to avoid leaning forward as much. Pumpin' Pal Breast Pump Flanges (Set Small 15mm-24mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711MNBPT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7mVKzb6HDE2SV

You can buy them from their website too I just like prime shipping. I have similar serious supply issues (my baby is 4 months now). @legendairymilk on Instagram has a bunch of good info, but they are also trying to sell their supplements. I bought some, they didn't work for me :(. The advice unrelated to supplements did though.
Also the pumping pals. They have been able to get the most out of me (~5 oz). I can't build a stash or anything, but I have a night pump that I do while baby sleeps through the night that's about 5 ounces that I can give her during the day when she gets ragey from hunger.
