Any suggestions to make this build sync better?

Norra/Saw/R2-D2 is a brutal combination. Norra with Advanced Torpedoes feels like a waste because she can't use her ability and the torpedoes simultaneously. Admittedly, APTs with Saw are scary enough as is, but you are paying 6 points for that one-shot upgrade - I'd probably put them on the chopping block first if anything needs to go.

If you're planning on using R3-A2 with a will, you're going to eat a lot of damage soaking the stress. As an alternative, you could take Hobbie instead for a point less. I get that this version of Jek is PS9, though.

Cassian's main benefit is removing stress from people. If you're using it on Jek, you don't need him to actually be Jek, especially with Kanan as well.
Kyle is okay, but the U-wing shouldn't be stressed that often, and with A Score To Settle, doesn't really need focus for attacks against its preferred target, either.
The Kanan-and-Kyle combo is awesome on an advanced sensors/engine upgrade/daredevil version of cassian, though.
I dunno. I'm not sure what you see Cassian as being 'for' in this squad.
I know Norra will hit like a truck anyway so maybe no torps at all and sink points into what instead?
I want Jek to be in the think of the action with Norra so making him PS9 and pairing him with R3-A2 to dish out stress makes sense.
I want to use Cassian to strip stress from either Norra or Jek (so he doesn't eat too much damage) and with Kanan, have the option of that too. Unsure who to replace Kyle Katarn with though?

Maybe Rey? You still do essentially the same thing - have more focus than you should - but you aren't dependent on the U-wing being stressed to get them. Saves you a point, too.
Norra to PTL/C3PO version
Cassian to Saw with expert handling and collision detector.
Now saw gives norra rerolls when she ptls, jek rerolls when he stresses, and himself rerolls when he b-rolls.

Going off of this, Saw with Wired, Hera, Kyle, CollDet, Refit, Title. Can bank endless stress to occasionally convert to focuses, has spectacular, action-free mods himself, grants rerolls to Norra to boost her offense (PTL for Focus/TL, TL for an extra eye, Saw reroll a blank, focus all the eyes) and to the stressbot carrier, who I would advise changing to Ezra. If you lose C3PO for a 1 or 0 point crew on Norra, you can afford the BEST little stresshog in the game: Sheathipede Ezra with Snap Shot, Luke, Stressbot. Stresses you pre-action with snap, stresses you on an initial PW attack, with Saw's reroll to miss, then uses Luke to stress you again and hopefully hit, with the focus change and Saw's reroll.
Unfortunately I don't own a Sheath. Stick with Jek instead?
I kinda think Wes Jansen would be a better X-Wing than Jek here. Stripping enemy tokens has always been strong, and no one in the list is higher than PS 10, so he'll fit in fine (Wes likes to be the first attacker). R3-A2 works decently with him, and if you're using Cassian to clean up stress, you don't need Jek's ability.
I think a Sheathipede does the job a lot better and cheaper (standard 26 Fenn Rau or 22 Ezra), but Wes is probably the best "support" X-Wing.
Yeah, if you don't have a bug, I'd use Wes. He can stress and token strip fir wild control.
I played a game against a friend of mine that ran The Inquisitor, 2x Onyx Sqn Escorts and a Shadow Sqn Phantom. So I ended up running with the list below.... And boy oh boy he got punished!!! I'll definitely be using it again!
Wes Janson (29) Servos, IA, VI, Refit, R3-A2
Norra Wexley (39) Vectored Thrusters, Title, VI, Ezra, R2-D2
Saw Guerrera (32) EU, Title, VI, Targeting Scrambler, Refit, Hera, Kyle Katarn
The Inquisitor got deleted straight up by Wes and Norra, didn't even fire a shot.. And I got the Shadow Sqn Phantom shields down first round with Saw.
He got 2 hits on Saw with the Phantom and the Onyx Escorts got a hit each on Norra.
Wes and Norra then promptly deleted a Onyx Escort, while I rolled like garbage with Saw and only managed 1 hit on the Phantom whilst he managed to smack Saw for 3 hits.
Wes and Norra took out the Onyx Escort and Saw smashed the Phantom for the decimation of his list.
