I use a flotation bag which inflates to fill the voids in my bulkheaded yaks. 
In the yak which has no bulkheads, I put in D-rings and a bungie (hooks on both
ends) to keep everything away from the center of the yak.  The bungie makes an
"X" by threading through two of the D's.

In your case, maybe you could just stuff something soft on top of the first aid
kit, etc.
