Putting a filler wad on top of the shot has the opposite effect the OP is trying to achieve as it creates a spreader load. I don't know if Flax seed would have the same effect but I would put it on the pattern paper.

The best ways to tighten a pattern are; larger shot, slower velocity, harder shot (maybe try copper coated), and granulated buffer.

Perhaps you could try a mylar wrap and see what that does.
