Viola sholder problem?

I play the violin, and recently changed o playing the Viola. But when I play for a bit my shoulder starts hurting even with a shoulder rest. I’ve tryed making the shoulder rest shorter so the Viola and shoulder rest would be around the same thickness as my violin with its shoulder rest.(I have a shoulder rest for both not the same one)is there anything i can do?

use a really soft sponge
