Default Best movements for upper-inner pecs

Ok guys.... I have a bit of a challenge. I have very prominent delts by genetics. My front delts are much bigger than average for people of my size. I'm 6'1" and 210lbs/96kg fit and trim, but I have delts you would see on a guy around 225lbs. Don't get me wrong, I love 'em, but it causes difficulties when I train my upper chest. The delts dominate the movements, and as a result, the very upper/inner part of my pecs are lagging in fullness and development from what I would like to see.
this last cycle I switched up incline barbell for dumbell, focusing on the upper 2/3rds of the movement, and have tried every variation of fly that I can come up with. The dumbells provided some benefit, but the fly movements were all defeated by the delts.

I would like some suggestions on how to focus on this particular area more effectively, and maybe some tips on how to remove as much delt influence as I can.

thanks in advance guys!
