Non-showdown winnings are usually a sign of aggression. The more aggressive you are, the higher your non-showdown winnings. The weaker you play post-flop, the lower your non-showdown winnings (or the higher your losses).
The trick is that it's not possible to change showdown winnings and non-showdown winnings completely independently of each other. Thus you see a range of patterns for winning players - some have positive non-showdown winnings, and some who don't.
Having said that, your non-showdown winnings are quite low.
It looks to me like the biggest culprit is that you're not adjusting for position.
You're playing too many hands OOP, and not enough in position.
For my very tight 13/10 stats, I'm playing 20% of hands on the button, but only around 6% UTG.
Learn how to use position - e.g., on the button, come in with a speculative hand (say 67s) - c-bet virtually any flop into one or two opponents if they check to you. Learn to tell when opponents are likely to be weak, and bet into them even if you didn't make your hand. You'll take down many hands this way (usually small pots, but it adds up over time).
The next thing to look at is your PFR. Your PFR and your VPIP should be fairly close. If you're going to play the pot aggressively, you're best off setting the tone by raising pre-flop. This means that you'll have initiative on the flop, being able to take more pots with c-bets.
