I personally do not think that moving the jaw around is a good thing. There is a lot of music with relatively large jumps and that is essentially impossible to negotiate.

The most critical thing is to not add pressure to the upper lip, that means point the trumpet down. If you were my student, I would probably try and pick one of the states and make everything work with it. This should have been caught earlier in your career!

I believe YOU should do nothing without advice from someone that understands embouchure.
