To be fair since you're doing medium bringing a fighter or not is up to you, it won't magically kill the boss, it has no use on the boss node. If you have 2 good CVLs use those fully loaded with bombers and a reppuu on one of the low slots.

Alternatively since you aren't using Saiun anyway you could place a Reppuu or Shiden Kai 2 on the 3 slot of Hiryuu to just get Air Parity at the aerial node so you lose less bombers, but I don't think this is your problem. Not being able to kill the boss depends more on the rest of your fleet.

If you really want good advice on what to change and whatnot you should show the equipment of all your ships. It's hard to give suggestions without seeing anything. I'm hoping that in your escort fleet all ships have DA setup for night battle, except Shigure and maybe KTKM (if no luck increase I'd use a DA). Your BBs should be standard 2 main guns, AP shell, Recon plane.
