Before you do anything else you need to get the leaks under control. Most of the night(90%) you were at a pressure of 9.57 or less. The leak for your mask at 9.57 is about 31. The leak you had was 74.33. The rest of the night you were between 9.57 and 13.7 for pressure and your leak was 124.00, but the accepted leak for the mask at those pressures is about 37. With leaks that high you can't trust the data as far as events(AHI). So first you have to control the leaks, THEN you can dial in the pressure.

This one your leak was a little more and drove your pressure up a bit in one spot. Still a good AHI and depending on how things continue...maybe a slight increase in minimum pressure might be considered but would need a lot more nights like this one. Don't make changes based on one or 2 nights of data when you are first starting out. Things are likely to just be unstable at first. Especially leak which messes with everything else.
