I didn't mention the obvious moving your spot on the approach on my previous post Zanatos because you already said you "made every adjustment".
So I am trying to come up with some less common yet useful ones for you.
I have one more that you could try - and that is lofting the ball a little - you only need about a yard, but if you lay the ball down just past the foul line each time, then this is a useful and easy adjustment. The benefit is obvious - it will spend less time on the lane and travel less distance on the lane itself giving it more chance of reaching the pocket on your usual track.
I don't hear this adjustment being touted much these days - perhaps more old school, although you do see some bowlers who really launch the ball about 12 feet down the lane.
An old bowling buddy showed me this when I first started bowling fingertip about 18 years ago - he said pretend there is a gap in the lane of about a yard and bowl "over" it. You can even go a little further if you need it. It works for me.
