Well once a mouth piece is formed you usually can't continue to reform it and get a good fit. This is why a lot of times if you don't know what you are doing you will usually ruin a couple of them before finally getting it right. So continuing to reform it like you are will not work probably.
As for your other problem; teeth shift and move some and if you are doing a lot of growing or have had a tooth extracted recently or maybe some other dental work then that could accelerate your teeth shifting and moving some. Also fighting and sparring can cause this shifting and moving of teeth as well. You might need to purchase a new one and form it I suspect.

There are many different variations of protective mouth guards for teeth protection!
If that one doesn't work or fit ?
Go purchase a few until you get the proper comfort level.
It also helps to breathe thru your mouth once the piece is in!
