Lower the valve to the lowest level of water intake while the skimmer breaks in. It can take a couple of days or a couple of weeks. And it can take a bit of time to get them dialed in in the meanwhile.
Turn down the air input on the skimmer. That’s the solution.

Usually skimmers have 2 knobs: one to control air flow into skimmer, and one to adjust water height. Lowering the air will usually drop the water level in skimmer, so that will have to be raised slightly.
Are you talking about the skimmer I posted? That’s my reef octopus skimmer and it does have an air adjustment feature. Most good quality skimmers have them.that skimmer looks like a reef octopus. It only has controller knob for water height

The power supply has this remote control with a slider button to control how much air you want injected
