Your IM settings are to low and smooth the shadow to much. Try a higher value ../-1 oder ../0.

floating object ?

are you talking of min and max rate in IM settings ?
It was at -3 -1
I tried yours...not much difference,
I tried -5 0
notthing good also.
and -3 1 does something weird

I'm still based on the velociraptor scene.

this is a -5 0

Hmm. Disable the "store with IM" at the arealight or try the QMC instaed the IM. This bring an unbiased result. But don't understand, why it dosn't work.

it was not convincing either... If I start from scratch and not from velociraptor file, it works good I think....anyway, I made it really float now.
need to increase the samples from IM now. it's a 64, I will put it higher to get rid to black hollow.
