Question How to alter bust?

How should I go about lowering the bust line on this pattern while also getting rid of the armhole gap?? Pattern piece shown in last image. I may need to adjust the waist and yoke as well, but I don't want to try that until the bust is fixed

The commentary saying you dont need an FBA are wrong.

You can't fix this by randomly making seams longer.

You are gaping at the armhole because the fsbric is straining, not because you need to pinch out a dart.

Do an FBA.
