I am no Mehta expert, but here is some advice that hopefully you will find helpful @Filipe Teixeira.
Firstly, your solve is perfectly fine!
Belt building is tricky. Try not to use triggers unless absolutely necessary and- even then- only to insert 2 belt edges at once. (Obviously, you will need to use a trigger to insert the last belt edge; this is why EOLE exists.) Many times, the best belt solution is not intuitive and requires you to insert belt edges in the wrong places or requires you to insert the belt edges in the "right" order (whatever that may be). Small optimizations can make all the difference between an 8 move belt and a 16 move belt.
Here is a 10-move belt in your solve. This is just the first solution i found.
u' R U' R' E2 R' E' R U R'
Other than that, your CLL case was one of the few that benefits from a much better CDRLL:
(U) F R2 U' R2 U R2 U F'
The CDRLL cases you should learn (or look up) are: S6, AS6, U6, Pi3, H2. I think there's one other one, but I can't find it now.
Good luck with Mehta!
