I had the exact same problem with a male Kenyi!

I named mine Fin Laden.
we got 2 different juvi mbuna to be alone in a 20G, having no knowledge of africans. was a quick lesson.
I kept them, but not in the recommended manner, just divided the tank. they fight through there safely & are well adjusted. always flaring, shaking, competing. the kenyi is excellent wet pet, small glass banger, takes pellets gently from our fingers but attacks & bites hands inside his tank relentlessly. got even more vicious to hands in large tank. I literally had to beat him off.
they need either perfect african aggression management with Lg tank size, overcrowding & hiding habitat.
or alternatively, if you're a total loser ;-) completely divide him. I didn't want a whole tank of this but it accidentally made his personality shine.

He seems to not care about size one thing is for sure is he isn't getting separated sooner or later the jag will have enough all the kenyi does is back him into his cave

thats why I dont keep agressive mbuna. There are many haps and peacocks that have better color without all the agression. Who wants to come home to dead fish everyday or dedicate a whole tank to one agressive fish?
It was either he was killed or I took him so I decided to take him

I say add some other aggressive mbuna like auratus, chipokae, desamoni, johanni, bumblebee. This will help keeping him in check try to get only males to so there's no females to fight over.
