You have an ideal set-up. Proper positioning of diffused speedlight is key to complimentary lighting of your macro & close-up subjects. Most macro-photographers with similar set-up, position diffuser face above lens front element, slightly to right or left, and pointing down about 45ยบ angle.It was a FotoDiox softbox. On the first shots I side lit & on the later ones I moved it over head as there was too much reflection on the left side of the beetle and too much shadow on the right.
It is also important to makes sure that SB-800 drop-down diffuser is in place (this will also automatically set SB-800 to widest light pattern), and to make sure that the internal white cloth diffuser inside the FotoDiox softbox is stretched from side-to-side.
