Try using a single softbox (stripbox) WITH a diffuser between the softbox and the product - - this will tend to create a gradient rather than a hotspot/reflection on the product. Additionally, for each setup, take a series of several shots, without moving either the camera or the product, and only moving the softbox and the diffuser to light different areas of the product for each of the shots taken for that setup. For each setup, combine the shots taken for that setup together in post using layer masks and create a composite image. This will allow specific portions of each shot taken for each setup to be selected, so as to reduce/eliminate any reflections. As an added advantage, shooting and editing this way will also allow specific areas of the product to be lit, such as the psi gauge, that normally would be difficult to capture using only a single image for each setup.
