Sorry to hear the struggles with the lessons. Here are a couple of clips on the reverse pivot to get you started. AMG golf is pretty good at explaining the technical stuff and I find Giles (2nd clip) is good at simplifying things. ▶ this video ▶ this video

Look at your impact position compare to Justin Rose. See how his legs are more extended, his hips are titled and open to the target but his chest is till pointed at the ball - VS - you've squatted and stayed low, your hips and shoulders are level to the ground, hips and shoulders are both pointed at the target.
