Spread out your storages more.
Try to put each storage in a different enclosed area. When they are all in the same cell like that (cell = any area closed in by walls), raiders focus their effort on getting straight to that spot because they know that once they get into that cell, they pretty much have access to all your loot. Leave the dark storage in the center cell so its most protected but place the others all in different cells. This way, the only way for them to get all your loot is to 3-star your base.
Another trick is to set up the buildings outside your base so that there are only two or three mines or elixir collectors together and they are only separated by some other non-resource building such as a barracks, lab, army camp, or spell factory. This will make it harder for raiders to rob your resources when you haven't been able to get on in a while and your collectors are full.
Remember, raiders can only take 20% of what is in your storages, but 50% of what is in your collectors. For dark elixir, they can only take 5% of the storage but 75% of whats in the drill. Also, a raider who's TH level is the same as yours can see 100% of the loot, if they are 1 level above you they can see 90%, and 2 levels they can see only 50%. So make sure you upgrade all that you can before upgrading your TH.
Hope this helps!
Also try putting your Clan Castle inside the middle cell where the dark elixir storage is located in the pic. A full clan castle that is in the center and hard to pull like that can absolutely ruin an attack, so that's definitely worth trying. Another way to slow down and weaken attackers is to put your traps on the inside of the base, so their troops will be bunched up when they run into them. You can remove one piece of wall between 2 defenses and put a spring trap in its place, this forces troops to walk right over it. If you can find a way to fit some of your big bombs inside, they can take out tons of enemy troops in an instant.
It will probably require you to do a little rearranging, but in the end it will be well worth it. If I think of anything else I will let you know, and if you have questions just let me know.

It is definitely a good idea to place splash damage defenses in range of as many storages as possible, especially the wizard tower since unlike the mortar, it does not have a blind spot. Mortars should be in the center of the base somewhere, or spaced out near the center so they cover as much of the base as possible. It is also a good idea to keep your mortars in range of your wizard towers so they can protect the mortars if troops make it into the mortar's blind spot.
As far as collectors go, I wouldn't waste too much of your wall space placing them inside unless you frequently go long periods without playing the game and let them fill up. If you collect from them every 3-4 hours or so, there won't be much loot in them for attackers to steal. Best to leave them outside and protect more defenses so they can pick off attacking troops while they try to get through the outside buildings.
