Guessing you're using a free spinning tool? If so get what you can and then do by hand or it is what it is.
Gear driven da would be able to work up on edge.

I use heavier cutting foam pads for sections like that. The thick ones work the contours better.

Get a 3" backing plate or better yet, get a 3" machine.

Try 3" foam pads if you have a smaller BP.
