One month ileostomy here with a fistula. I put paste around the inside of my barrier. I also decided to put a barrier strip on the top of my bag so it doesn't pull when full. So far, I'm wearing this setup a little longer. As soon as I get one area of skin clearer, up pops another. That seems to help the most so far. I also ordered Marathon and Cavilon 3M Advanced skin protectant to help clear up my skin. $$$ I'll use one of them on my next change to see if things clear up and stick better.

The paste might help fill in the gap. Put it in the back of your barrier. I found the "Ostomy Diaries" on YouTube, and that girl shares a lot of helpful tips. So much to find on YouTube.

I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

Can you cut a V in the barrier around your belly button to make it lay flatter? I use Sensura Mio too. You can also put the wafer on lengthwise so the shorter side is towards your belly button.
