Your funny Albert, I think not!!!!!!!!!!!
Since you have the 45° deflection piece in the reaction box try directing the foam comming out of the beckett towards that with a PVC 45°
In that photo it looks like you need to raise your water hieght also but you've probably already done that.
Give it time to break in aswell.

Where do you run your water high in the skimmer?
