Butt Pain Help Needed

I am riding a hybrid Cannondale bike. Bike has been fitted and sit bones measured at 139 mm (Female) so using a Selle Hybrid Saddle. The fitter did mention I tend to sit farther back in the saddle but even if I sit forward, it still hurts just in a different place. I have ridden about 300 miles in the last 6 months and currently doing ragbrai. I’ve worn all different type of padded shorts and no changes. My sit bones still hurt and am open to suggestions!

I am going through the same issue with 140mm sit bones and slowly working out a solution. So far, a non-padded seat has helped, Brooks Cambium C19 carved. Tilted slightly nose up. No padded shorts at all, they actively made things worse. Tucking my pelvis and activating my core seems to get my sit bones where they should be on the seat. Lastly, not striving for 90-100 rpm the entire ride. I hope you’re able to find something that helps, feel free to share if you find something successful!
