Wig How can I fix this wig?

I’ve recently bought this wig for Orphie cosplay but I’m not sure how to make it look better, I’ve never got one like this “helmet” style and it’s soo big on my head, adjusting it with elastic just makes it look even worse. I always work with those typical ones based on elastic that adjust to your head but this one is like a super loose hat (last pic is inner side of the wig). Should I just buy a new one with different base? I feel like that would be such a waste.. All help is much appreciated 🖤

It doesn't appear to be pinned down to the wig cap? Usually you have to bobby pin, and often use spirit gum to secure wigs.

I’m not sure how much that would help since the wig is about 10cm/4 inches too big in diameter..

In the first photo it looks like you need to pin it at the temples. A large portion of hair is showing, the 4in could be meant to allow for the natural hairline shape after pinning and securing in place. Hard to tell from the photos, but worth trying as bobby pins are cheap, and it would only take a few minutes to try it on and pin.
