I just ordered some of these ATS Acoustics Corner Bass Traps on the suggestion of @mitchco - https://www.atsacoustics.com/corner-bass-trap-b.html Here's a screenshot of 10-200 with 1/12 smoothing Could you re-plot this with the "standard" 50dB-wide vertical scale?

If the speakers aren't too difficult to slide around I would follow @esldude suggestion and measure the speakers in a slightly forward, a slightly backward and a slightly closer to each other position, move the listening spot back and forth for each speaker position and also try lowering or raising the mic by some 4 or 5 inches, just to get a feel of the room interference. I prefer to do this with pink noise but sweeps will work too. I have found that a simple EQ'ing/bringing down the peaks will produce good results, a bit like looking at a rocky beach in low tide; suddenly there's life and detail and colour in the bass.

I would try with less (or no) toe in and hear how it sound and measure. Corners are problematic for bass and placing tube traps there is not so much for absorbing the bass as not letting the bass get to the corners there it will be amplified big time. Toe-in wont affect bass. The ceiling is too close for no toe-in.
