These tests from your K2006? Some of the results look more like pool store results.
Your pH is high and your FC is very very very low. How are you adding chlorine? Pucks? Liquid? SWCG?
A SLAM is likely needed to reset before you close the pool due to the low FC. Also recommend reading all the Pool School articles you can, including the Pool Care Basics.

You FC is very low. (you need to add chlorine) Your CYA is low for a salt water pool (you need to raise that to 50-60). Your salt level is also high. I'm not sure on CH cause I'm only used to plaster pools, not vinyl.
How are you testing? K2006? (if so, how did you get 33 CYA? it's either going to be 30, or round up to 40)..
How is your water clarity???

The community here doesn’t give advice based on pool store testing. We trust you, and we trust your K2006 or TFP kit.
Your FC is so low that you should proceed as if you have algae and other organics growing in your pool. You need to SLAM and get serious about testing and managing the FC/CYA relationship.
I promise you that pool care is easy - pool stores exist to make it more complicated, with worse results, that cost 10x.
