Checker your hand?

Just kidding but you can either checker the grip, wrap the grip with tennis racket tape from Walmart, put one of those roll on rubber grips from the big archery houses.

I'd do the tennis racket tape first myself. I did it on a Hoyt Buffalo and it worked great.

I'm kind of confused how many fingers should be on the riser with your grip hand at full draw?

IMO, if the bow is slipping in your hand then there is something wrong with the way you are gripping it. You should be able to completely relax your hand at full draw and the bow not move, otherwise you are imparting unwanted force and likely causing torque.
We are all here because we are not all there.

Shooting a bear super grizzly which I believe is high grip does any of this change due to that?

Sweat will make a lot of grips slip a little. A non issue in November but a big deal in July.
