Flash head angle variations, switch from TTL + Matrix into just TTL ... 
 

(9) Flash: on hot shoe Flash head: upwards at 45° with diffuser Flash settings: TTL + Matrix Flash compensation: none Exposure: 1/60 sec, f/4 Result: No strong shadows anywhere.
(10) Flash: on hot shoe Flash head: upwards at 90° with diffuser Flash settings: TTL + Matrix Flash compensation: none  Exposure: 1/60 sec, f/4 Result: Softer light than above.
(11) Flash on hot shoe Flash head: upwards at 90° into the ceiling with white card out Flash settings: TTL + Matrix Flash compensation: none Exposure: 1/60 sec, f/4 Result: Still very soft but with more light from that bounced by the white card.
(12) Flash 1: on hot shoe Flash head: upwards at 90° with diffuser  Flash settings: TTL Flash compensation: none Flash 2: at right on SU-4 upwards at 45° Exposure: 1/60 sec, f/4 Result: Even softer, light evenly distributed from primary source. Background detail is gone.
(13) Flash on hot shoe Flash head: straight forward with diffuser Flash settings: TTL Flash compensation: none Flash 2: at right on SU-4 into subjects Exposure: 1/60 sec, f/4 Result: Light less evenly distributed than above but much better than with no diffuser (as in Frame 2).
