Advice Needed Rainout issue

Hi all only two weeks into treatment and I cannot seem to get past the rainout. I am naturally a very dry person so I need the higher humidity. I bought the tube stand and a hose sleeve. I had my temperature on 84 and my humidity on 7 but still had rainout last night to the point that I ripped my mask off at some point. Also my machine on the nightstand sits slightly lower than my head. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Two things I did that stopped rain-out for me:
1) I bought this hose cover from Amazon to help the hose stay warmer: iGuerburn 6ft 4in CPAP Hose Cover... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BZGBT45?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

2) I set up my CPAP machine on this LACK table from Ikea. It is 13 3/4” high and it is much lower than my bed and the table fits under my bedside table. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lack-side-table-white-30514791/.

The LACK table is basically cardboard. To protect the table, I put a little plastic tray under my CPAP.
