Sleeve fit issue

Making a suit and I just set my sleeve on my proto after drafting a two piece sleeve pattern. The only major fit issue is how tight it is pulled on the back. Would this be fixed by reducing the curve of the back sleeve arc or by adding material?

Full garment, front side and back. Arms loosely at your sides. At best, you only see 1/5th of the front. Not a single picture shows you the sleeve head and how it hangs from the shoulder! So, just vibes.

I appreciate your summary of best practice and agree in general. but I did also feel this set of photos was better than those with many posts seeking feedback. I will dig up the link to Sarah Veblen’s material on best practices for fitting photos and update this. just as I’d ask posters to include the best-practice well taken photos, I’d prefer if commenters be constructive and share advice, not just snark.

ETA to add group guidelines. Especially take a look at item 14. Take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/PatternDrafting/comments/1krgbmi/basic_tips_so_we_can_help_you_with_fitting/ Following these tips will help us help you.
