That makes sense. I had one flash at about the height of the guns and another mounted to the camera as my 2nd trigger hasn't arrived yet.

Decent start. I'd tone down the lights some, either with diffusion or on power, and work with positioning them a bit lower to skim off the subject a bit more.
That makes sense. I had one flash at about the height of the guns and another mounted to the camera as my 2nd trigger hasn't arrived yet.
Is the mounted flash a popup, or is it a true mounted flash? If it's mounted, just swivel the flash so that it's not hitting the subject, but still tripping the other strobe. See what that does for ya.
Lighting is all about starting out with a foundation, then experimenting until you get it right. Start with a formula: Position....Diffusion.....Intensity
For instance, start with cross-lighting. Place the subject in the middle, then two lights pointing at each other. Experiment with positioning them not only laterally, but also vertically.
Then on to diffusion, if needed. Also work with bouncing the light via reflectors and such.
Then adjust the brightness of the light until you have a decent exposure.
