You need weight shift to the lead leg in transition and downswing. This will help you contact the ball before the ground and get shaft lean as well. It should also help you stop casting. ▶ this video

So let's cover the divot part first. I do agree that your angle of attack is poor. However, you can have a good angle of attack and not take a lot of divots. I'm a 5 and I don't take them often. Tiger has said that when he's at his best, he doesn't often take a divot. I don't know if I'm crazy, but I swear I read somewhere in this post that you've always had a Scheffler like foot shuffle? Maybe I'm going crazy lol …

Looks pretty good for 3 months man! Keep up the good work. Biggest thing id point out from this angle is you seem to be hanging back on your trail side too long. Work on some drills for getting to the lead side early and it will help a ton with contact and ball flight. ▶ this video
