Ok. I think we are getting somewhere... I know exactly what you are referring to and can pretty easily replicate it on my setup.
Three things that you can try that will help with that area.
First, make sure that the end cinches are not too tight. Less is more on the foot end. Unfortunately, this is a try and error one and it's hard to get this right by yourself. You don't want the cinch deforming the quilt so that the suspension can't do it's job.

Second - I go against the flow here. I utilize the quilt hook opposite my feet and shoulder. I sleep feet-right and use the quilt hook on the LEFT side at the foot end and RIGHT side at the head end. The whole reason I use them in this fashion is to help with the exact problem you are facing.

Finally - I cut my suspension (evenly of course) and utilize a separate attachment point at each corner. The reason for this is that if there is a single attachment point, it comes up from the bottom of the hammock. Utilizing separate attachments allows me to 'flip' the suspension up over the hammock and provide extra lift. Doing this step almost eliminates the need for step 2, but if the hammock has quilt hooks, I still utilize them.

This sounds like a lot of fiddling, but once you do it enough, much like anything else, it becomes second nature.
