RE: Suggestions?
Certainly great progress on leaks. That's certainly one big hurdle over. A good basis to start.

The next big hurdle are the clusters that are 100% responsible for pushing up your pressure to maximum, and most likely creating false positive central apneas at the same time. 

To move ahead, these clusters must go, the only way are the options previous discussed. Pressure settings cannot deal with these, it is a body positional issue only. 

One point on your graph pressure, ideally we need to see clearly the 5 following graphs:- Events, Flow Rate, Pressure, Leak Rate and Flow Limitations. 

Another important point is that we cannot see your actual settings in the left hand window. They have been cut after the statistics section. Is the ramp on? 

To make this section reappear, you can either manipulate the graphs size spacing yourself, or go to  View > Reset Graphs > Standard. 

Note, for taking screenshots of your Daily screen, 

   * For Windows or Linux: Use the F12 key
   * For a Mac: Use Fn+F12

You can also see detailed graph organising here.

RE: Suggestions?
Now that your leaks are under control, you can rely more on your reported data: You are hitting your max pressure ceiling, and your flow limits are high.
I suggest setting the minimum pressure to 13 and the maximum to 16.
It would be best to work on your positional apne, as evidenced by the clustered events.
