Just Switched From 10's to 9's on Majesty, Some Questions

Hello:

Due to some fretting hand pain I have been having recently, I decided to hop down to 9’s from 10’s on my Majesty in hopes the lighter strings may help.

Before changing the strings, I thought I might only need to adjust the intonation and do a relatively minor truss rod correction, and adjust the saddle height

However, I wasn’t really prepared for the extreme result, lol.

Due to the lesser resistance, the bridge is dipping downward of course. But the issue is that a truss rod adjustment was not able to fix this totally, and I even did a minor adjustment to the spring screws

Is there anything else I can/should do to get the bridge back level with the body of the guitar?

Thanks
