I would try 'Sound off pads' they are a 1/4" foam/rubber pad that I use when I teach/play my acoustic kit when a quieter surrounding is preferred.
They come in many sizes and due to their material stay fairly put on the drum heads.
They work extremely well on the acoustic kit with a limited loss of feel (when using sticks anyways).
You may also try placing the congas on an anti-fatigue mat. That should absorb a lot of the vibration from passing out the bottom of your drums onto the floor.
