Sorry if I got a billion things wrong, but, does this help?, it was mainly the inconsistent feather overlaps that were messing with your design, I made the chest and axillary feathers fluffier, moved the head of the humerus a little bit back

different bird wings do differnet things, so I'm sure this is more pronounced in macaws and other birds that are great at taking off and moving around, but pat of the reason why on the underside of the wing distal feathers overlap (iirc), is to reduce drag on the upstroke, that goes for primaries, secondaries and tertiary feathers

also take into account the feather origins and directions, they got a long muscle that lets them move them a bit, so for this you just gotta use reference
