That left 1st rib will just not move.
Nothing suspicious at all shows up on x ray or MRIs?

Recently a few members were found to have some sort of anomalies during TOS surgery.
Most had not responded well with PT, so with pain & symptoms increasing they looked into expert surgeons & surgery.

I would try another expert PT or expert chiropractor or 2, just to be sure it isn't that one PT that is not able to help you.
But if you've been to quite a few very good PTs already and nothing is helping... maybe it's time to look at surgery or some other alternative therapies.

What kinds of things is the PT trying or having you do?

Sorry if I missed it, do you know which type of TOS you have?
Vascular (arterial or venous) or neural? both?
What is your avg pain level in a day?

If you list some of your symptoms we might be able to suggest something helpful..
