I don't understand the difference between the two concrete but clearly 500 pounds without slack and/or snubbers isn't going to do it.

I think we're going to start with adding slack & snubbers before the added expense of more weight and chain.
I think slack will solve your problem, I would experiment, with slack first, hopefully you can get enough so the anchors don't lift and the raft stays in the orientation you want.
