Need Opinion On Durso And H2o Flow

I am including a pic of my situation. I got a new return pump and I know its rockin well. Its pushing plenty more h2o into the tank.
Well, my concern is that the overflow in my box and the durso isnt working efficiently enough.
Should I continue to adjust, (and its been a PAIN), the durso so there is a longer fall of water into the box ?? There is a air flow adjuster on the top of the durso. 1st, not enough air, then too much, then Niagara falls and flushing, then not enough fall in water.
I have ball valves but do I REALLY want to adjust them ??? I love the increased flow in my tank. UGHHHH!!!!!
Please take a look at the pic and help me with some opinion.
Thanks in advance.

Do the ball valves flow back into the sump?
Imo if thay have a 3 way that will flow back in to the sump or fuge it's the best way to adjust the flow.

Got pic of the set up all of it?
What size pump?
What size over flow?

Hello and thank you. The pump is a little giant MDXQ-series. As for the overflow, I dont know as a result I bought it from 3rd party. I am posting pics. If you can see, there is a ball valve on the intake of the new pump and also on the outflow.
Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

I hate to sound like a complete uneducated ding dong but I dont understand the set up.
On the Y where does each end go to. I am sorry, I am far from engineeringly inclined.
