Why bra you don't work???

I just received this bra today. I decided to go with a Georgia full cup since it has the same shape as Selina and Darcy but was on sale. Bravissimo recommended the 34K to me, after I told them that I have some wrinkling in my 34KK Darcy.
When I took the bra out of the package I noticed that it appeared somewhat flimsy. It does look lightweight and not sturdy at all like on the Bravissimo pictures.

When I tried it on... what I expected: perfect fit, like my 34L Bravissimo bras with similar shape used to fit. What I got: a somewhat really weird ... fit.
I don't know is it too big or a weird shaped bra???

The issues:

There is very slight wrinkling at the top of the cups. It is very minor but it feels like I would have some extra room there, if my boobs were even fuller on top. A good thing for full on top shape.

The cups are very deep and projected, I get to fill the bottom of the cups quite well. On the side I have some empty fabric, as the wires are about 1-2cm too wide (this is standard for me in every bra so if everything else would be ok, I would not mind...). The cups are really really tall. They come up really high under my arms. No way some underarm fat can escape these roomy cups.

At first I only moderately adjusted the straps but when I saw the wrinkling, I adjusted them as short as possible. I still think, I could make them a tiny bit shorter if it was possible. I posted 2 pics where I hold up the straps some more, it would make the shape from the side better and get rid of wrinkling.
The lace at the edge of the cups is stretchy. The top section of the cups is a flimsy stretchy fabric but has a non-stretchy lining for stability.

I find the band quite stretchy for a bravissimo bra, not up their usual very firm bands that I know from Darcy, Selina, English Rose and Urban Rose. When I shorten the straps to the maximum I feel like the band rides up. I know it does not really but it feels like it would during longer wear. The band is not really too big tough. Probably it feels big because the cups are too big. Also I find the shape quite pointy from the side. It is not too visible in the Pictures but compared to my Tango or Ariza it is more pointy.

I only wore the bra for 10 mins since I most likely have to return it, but I kinda have the concern that the bra could become unsupportive over the day and I get neck pain from pull on the tight shoulderstraps. Also the gore could get uncomfortable as it would dig into my boobs.

Another issue I have is that the wires at the gore Always fold over each other no matter how I adjust my boobs in this bra. I don't know why that happens. I don't think that there is not enough center projection. I find the cups deep, wide and tall usually this is what I need in a bra (although I need more tall and deep than wide cups). I don't know if I should get a 34JJ or just let this one be and go for another Darcy or Selina if left in my size…
