Ear open issues and/or workarounds?

I received a pair of Ear open for Christmas, and have noticed some issues using it (I have a Nothing Phone 2).
The earbuds don’t sit flush on my ears- any type of adjustment doesn’t seem to help. The armband doesn’t seem adjustable either, but I didn’t want to force it in case I break it. Is this right?
I’ve noticed that my long hair is sort of preventing the earbud from sitting correctly, considering most people have hair, how do others deal with this? Was this only designed for people who don’t have hair? lol

I’ve also experienced pain wherever the bud touches my ear after wearing them for more than an hour or so. (the back of the ear mostly, and the front wherever it touches). I’ve very jealous of everyone who has said they don’t feel the earbuds at all. Any type of adjustment possible? the arm being flexible is nice but being able to bend it in certain directions would be handy, and the end piece i wonder if covering it with a soft material would help it sit in place (like silicon or something). Has anyone found a way to make them more comfortable, or keep them in a comfortable position?

I usually use them in calls on Whatsapp- the gesture controls do not work. I cannot answer/hangup calls on this app. Is there something wrong with my settings or do the earbuds not work with this app?

Is it possible to pick custom commands to use with gestures? I’d like a shortcut to mute/unmute.

Any tips for utilising these earbuds would be helpful.

Thanks!

Also, i’ve noticed the “find my earbud” feature doesn’t work when you aren’t using the earbuds and the case is closed. This might not be a problem if you’ve misplaced one earbud and you still have the case, but what if you’ve misplaced the whole case? Is it possible to be able to activate the feature when no earbuds are in use and the whole case is misplaced? This seems a more likely scenario!
