You are doing just fine.

There are three Sashimi X-Wings available at this point, also called Skyscrapers.

After that there are two fairly easy moves, but then you need a fairly complex technique. I would use a W-Wing. Then singles to the end.

L2-Wing : r3c9=7 -> r3c5=3, r2c4=7 or r5c9=7 -> r2c4=7; stte
