Hmm, first thing I notice is that your equipment setups aren't optimal. The guns on Prinz Eugen are actually pretty bad to be honest. Better options would be 20.3cm no. 2 or no.3 or even her own SKC34. Furthermore, equip a Night Scout on her. Equip Proto 41cms and/or 51cms on your Nagato too, instead of on your support expeds ships. Since your Kongou is level 98, she should be able to handle one Proto 46cm. If you have a Proto 35.6cm, equip that on her too. You can experiment with having torpedo cut-in setup on Abukuma or replace her with a Sendai-class CL.

Also, check whether you are able to achieve air superiority at the boss node. If you are on Hard, you might just get air parity there. In that case, place the fighters in higher plane count slots or equip more fighters on your CVs.

The positions of your shipgirls in the escort fleet aren't very optimal either. You should assign Prinz Eugen to the last slot of the fleet, to allow others to (hopefully) clean the escorts first. Kitakami should stay in the second last slot and Ooi before her (4th slot).

Good luck with farming! :D Let me know how everything works out, if you want.
