Yeah OP, I still say the solution is to loosen up. You're saying some people call you pre-flop with a very tight range (so open more pre - ramp up your frequencies especially in LP) and call your c-bet with a very tight range (so c-bet more since your c-bets work a greater %; in fact, you should c-bet 100% against people who would ever fold top pair against you). Of course, when someone like that calls you pre AND calls your c-bet, your double barrel frequency needs to be a bit lower than, say, mine. However, while less frequent, your double barrels should be MORE effective as long as you're reading ranges and texture well.
Like we open pre-flop, flop comes J62r, you c-bet (please tell me you c-bet that flop close to 100% heads up). Villain calls.
Ok. Here, against YOU, villain, like you say, might have a fairly tight range. Absolutely barrel any turn A, K and Q. If those give villains two pair, unlucky. If you get called, you need to consider a third barrel once you consider combinatorics and ranges, etc.
Now, in that same spot, against ME, a lot of villains peel lighter than against you. I must be more active pre and post. I can get peels by A-high, 77-TT, and sometimes air / weak back doors. So I'll often barrel the same scare cards you should... but I'll sometimes (based on many factors) also barrel relative blanks.

I open [always open with a raise]
UTG: 9.65%
UTG+1/2: 12.5%
UTG+3: 14.5%
HJ: 17.9%
CO: 23,7%
B: 47.5%
Do you track every live hand you play by position?
Cool.
This looks great to me. You're probably in good shape. I do think you could loosen up a touch more in late position.
Depending on your reads on the BTN, I think you can open up a touch more in HJ and in CO. I actually really appreciate your BTN discipline in terms of being a touch below 50%, but I do expect you can open that up a touch to steal more and that it'll increase your win rate slightly. Of course, you want to consider the blinds. Against some blinds, you can open 100%. Against others, not so much. There's no perfect #, but I do think you could a touch higher.
That all said, I think your #s generally look great, and, not knowing your actual hands / ranges, if you don't change a thing in terms of your frequencies, you're probably in pretty good shape in terms of positional opening ranges.
