I attended a speech by USD’s admission director a couple of years ago and she said they don’t really give much in aid to transfer students. The package you received is typical for a USD transfer student with the exception of your missing Cal Grant. As a suggestion I would appeal your award, I have know situations up at USD where the “squeaky wheel” got a bit more aid to make it affordable. At your family’s income level, you should push that point with USD. They may just say “no” but it doesn’t hurt to appeal. Good luck.
