Playing overtones and not the correct notes on baritone saxophone?

For one of my big bands my teacher asked me to play bari for the
concert. I normally play alto. The bari is not a great horn and the
reed is chipped a little. When I play, I get overtones and the octave
key seems to not work. I have tried changing everything in my
embesure, which seemed to help a little bit, but I am still getting
overtones a lot. What I'm asking is what is the correct embesure to
play on bari and why am I playing wrong?
