My setup wasn't too far off. But here are my suggestions to what worked well for me (although after clearing the event I haven't been able to do another S rank at boss... so take it with a pinch of salt)

1. Instead of a CA in your support fleet, use a FBB on the same last slot. If aside from Kongou/Haruna you don't have any other higher level FBB but have a slow BB then use that one as flagship. Tanks a bit better, and the double attack phase is helpful in some nodes... not sure if it's actually less deadly in night battle.

2. I had reppu's so I"m not sure if you had no choice but to use that many fighter planes. With Hiryuu&Souryuu (both Kai Ni) I used: Tomonaga Squadron Tenzan + Reppu Kai + Type 21 (Skilled) + Type 2 Recon Aircraft for Hiryuu; Egusa Squadron Suisei + Reppu + Reppu + Saiun for Souryuu. Basically the two largest slots with fighters, smallest slot with recon and the other for bomber/torpedo bomber. That depends on the slots though. In your case if you want to keep it the way it is, perhaps put Saiun on Souryuu Kai Ni's last slot and the Type 52 to Kaga.

3. Type 91 AP and Type 1 AP weren't working too well for me... but for the BBs equipping AP shells, use recon plane instead of radar so you can do day-time double attack or cut-in. The BBs without AP shells with both recon plane and radar.

4. For your support fleet formation, see if you can determine which ships actually deal significant damage to boss; they probably all more or less one shot anything else in the enemy fleet. Alternate them in terms of effectiveness. I found using my strongest boss-damagers as flagship and 4th ship worked best for me since RNG usually makes the first few ships kill the small fry... so by the time 4th ship attacked (if not heavily damaged by then) there would only be the boss left. Kept my FBB as last ship for insurance but only did moderate damage for me. So in boss-damage potential mine was placed in the order of High-Moderate-Low-High-Low-Moderate.
