Trying to learn how to shoot with continuous light. Feedback would be much appreciated.

All shots taken with a Fujifilm XT3, Fujinon 50mm F.2 R WR. Shot at F2.8, shutter speed auto. Light used is the Neeweer 660 Pro. Can't seem to figure out how to get a softer quality of light without making everything look flat. I've tried bouncing the light, dimming the power, and various poor-man's methods of diffusing the light. Also having a problem with blowing out my highlights. I've resorted to underexposing and attempting to adjust in post but it just doesn't look right when I do this. Do I have my light placed too close to the subject? Trying to learn with continuous because purchasing a strobe (even a cheap one) will be out of my budget for a very long while. The light I got was gifted.
