Two actionable (and hopefully doable) suggestions:
Quick mockup (edit of the screenshot above):
Better than the reverted stuff, but still so much unnecessarily space consuming.
Can't the original layout be kept as much as possible?
Why are labels above controls?
Why is ns selector x-times wider than the widest item in it?
Etc...
Even if I might repeat myself. To @Danny_B's points above:
Why are labels above controls?
Because there's lesser cognitive workload when labels are above controls. People are quicker when fulfilling their tasks on forms with labels above fields. See for example https://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2006/07/label-placement-in-forms.php
Why is ns selector x-times wider than the widest item in it?
What is the problem with this?
