I was having a similar problem with my R7, using my EF 100-400 MKII with 1.4x MKIII. I almost always shoot from my car when I’m not shooting in the yard. And I almost always have the car turned off. My shots without the extender were often soft, and with the extender, we’re always soft.. I updated my firmware, then reset the camera to factory defaults, including custom button and dial settings. Then I set everything back up again and went for a drive with the camera. It was night and day. It may or may not work for you, but it worked for me. Oh, and I have almost always shot in EFCS mode. Hope you get it solved on your R7.

Wow ! Thank you Dan ! At the very least, I need to check my firmware version for updates ! I have no idea what version my R7 has !

I'm almost hoping it's the outdated version now, because that would be a relatively easy fix !
