Just a couple of observations ...
Different people have better luck with the "Costas" decoder or the DP decoder (radio buttons on the top of the main screen).
Costas seems to be easier to use for me. I'm tracking Doppler manually so it's easier to see a good lock once I get it.
And you seem to need a fairly strong signal at this point. I need a beam and a preamp for example.
I'm using a 7 element yagi, 20 degree fixed elevation with an azimuth rotor. I see from the decoded telemetry that the Forward Power has ranged between 111 mW and 636 mW. Received signal on my end depends a lot on which trees are in the way ;-)
