I think I got it... The blows highlights are just a reflection of the soft box.
I have to look at the reflection on the fabric from the lens position.

yes, but it wont do you any good. Think of this as a mirror. If you wont see highlights - you wont see all the funky wee circles that you using it for.

You need to move light closer in (or increase apparent size by other means), then
- highlights will become larger


but if you move light closer (which still increases apparent size) there is one extra effect you will gain - light falloff will become much more sharp-ish (inverse square law) so you may get less light travelling to and thus - from background. Only problem it will be utterly tricky as its got such a high reflective ability. So i'd still move model out just a bit, to gain at least half of the stop difference (better yet - 1.5). Meter for incident light on her face. Then meter reflected light from background. Move. Repeat till happy
