Or go to Seattle Skeet and Trap at the King County Shooting Sports Park in Ravensdale and ask for some help/advice from some of the guys there. Hit the 5 stand on a Saturday and there is sure to be some knowledgeable folks around who can help.

@wadu1Yeah.. good advice. I shoot my other shotguns pretty well, but this one is giving me issues. Maybe it's managing a young dog, but it feels more like a fit issue.

Ide prefer to go to a smith or pro opposed to a big box store or club shoot.

Some things you might try to do on your own prior to paying for a pro fit or modifying the gun: check out some videos on assessing LOP fit and have someone help you compare your fit with this and other guns you shoot well, pattern the gun with different shells and chokes, use factory stock shim kit to tinker with drop and cast, pick up a cheap slip on recoil pad with minimal butt thickness (1/8-1/4") and add additional material inside to gradually increase thickness.
If it truly ends up being length of pull, I think Beretta offers recoil pads of different thicknesses. If not, there are grind to fit pads, and some nice leather slip on options.

Or just go to S and S in MT. That guy is amazing.

Last shotgun I bought, I went to the SST range in Ravensdale (suggested above) and had a shooting coach there work with me, and we adjusted the fit. I forget his name. Will try to look it up.
My prior shotgun to that one, I was living in Oregon and went to a trap shooting range there and that coach actually attached an additional cheek pad to my shotgun that dramatically improved my shooting. It's always worth the cost of the coaching session for me.

Whenever I buy a new shotgun (or bow) I go to a shooting coach. Have them watch me shoot, and advise. Usually there is shotgun fit as part of the discussion.

Was the SST coach’s name Bob or Walt maybe?

It was Frank Neumayer. This was years ago so not sure if he's still there.
