RE: Cant find a good setting.
As you seem to know you have positional apnea.  PA can not be controlled with pressure changes.  You can only stop PA with changing the position you sleep.  AYou said you had a collar.  It is not doing anything to stop the PA.  The 2 sizes you need to look at is the height of the collar - you get that number from the measurement of the distance of your ching to your sternum.  The 2nd is of course the distance around the neck.

I would also change your pressures but again it will NOT help your PA.
Max 12
Ps4
min 5

Trigger set to high.
