gaining in "upper chest" area

I am 35, 220, 6-2 I like the way my upper body is built except for "upper pec-upper chest-front of shoulders" area. I think because i am tall this area just doesnt have muscle to build on the way i want. Maybe something else. I've read debates on whether i can isolate this upper chest area. I've done lots of incline bench and military(str8 back vertical) bench. These help, but do not build it nearly how i want. Its like my lower chest gets big but upper grows slower, lot slower

With genetics aside, are there any grips or variations of exercises that will help me in this area?

Any feeedback would be helpful

I think it is largely genetic
but you could try bench, bringing the bar down high on your chest ( near your neck)
using a narrower grip with incline press

let us know how you go
 
Unfortunately, chest shape and potential for size is mostly genetic, look at Lee Priest his arms are awesome but his pecs are flat and not too great.

i'm gonna try this grip and motion on bench this chest day, coming monday.
I'll know the next day if it's isolating, thanks bro
