Bottle recs for shallow latch/tongue tie?

I have a 3.5 month old who has been EBF since birth, but I would like to start supplementing with formula to take some of the pressure off me.

Breastfeeding has been going fine, despite that when we first started, lactation consultants said she had a shallow latch due to a tongue tie. They recommended a frenectomy but she's been feeding fine, gaining weight, and I just got used to it, so we didn't do it.

We have Philips Avent bottles from our first baby, who never had any issues with a bottle. We started him earlier with it though. Now when we try introducing it, she just seems... confused, and doesnt take it. I'm wondering if its in part due to her shallow latch and if there's other bottles that would be better.
