Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Your priority is fulfilling your wajib, and then turning to nawafil. If you were to pray your qadha` prayers during the time of your nawafil, you will also be granted reward as well. So, as long as you have qadha` prayers, you should not be doing nawafil, and with a good routine for qadha' prayers you will be able to finish it in an adequate time.  

And Allah knows best.

Is it correct that Nafilah prayers can be performed while sitting or walking? If so, how exactly should we perform such prayers while seated or moving?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, it is correct that the Nafilah prayers can be performed while
sitting or walking. It can be done simply by reciting Surah Al Hamd
and optionally another Surah after it, which is not compulsory. Then
in the position of sitting, to bend for Ruku ; and then to bow for
Sujood. If it is being performed while walking, there is no
condition to face the Qiblah and the Rukoo' and the Sujood can be
performed by a slight bending of the head for Ruku and a little bit
more bending of the head for Sujood or even by bending the head or the eyes.

Wassalam.
