You’re struggling with an open face because you’re grip is too weak. I’m not sure why a couple people said to weaken your grip, but that’s not how it works. A weaker grip opens the face and a stronger grip closes the face. Your wrists look like they are in great position, but even with good wrists you are open because of the weak grip.

I need a face on view to see what your lead hand is doing, but your trail hand grip seems to be weak / neutral. You should play around with different grips with your trail hand. I switched a strong grip and completely fixed my iron shot right to left dispersion. I still chunk it or hit it thin occasionally but it goes dead straight. You might be better suited to a stronger grip. ▶ this video
