Hi Alibama2 and welcome to the Q&A Forum. The basic problem is the light going directly into the subjects eyes. I did a quick look around but couldn't find an manufactured item to add to the flash as a diffuser or bounce but your flash actually pops up so perhaps you can engineer something? An index card and elastic or some such to redirect the flash somewhat? The fact that I didn't find anything doesn't mean it doesn't exist BTW.
In the mean time take a look at this article.
