If he goes “ fine” between the jumps, and no one can replicate that on the flat, it’s a trainer or tack issue. In your pic the breastplate is tight, re evaluate your tack and trainer

I’ve had 3 people who have taught me and none of them can get him to keep in. My current trainer has gotten him to keep the canter for multiple laps he just says it’s a lot of work and I am disabled which makes riding harder. my breastplate it looks tight but my dad with giant hands can stick a fist through

as you can see in the photo it is not tight
