It's because u do forearm rotation in takeaway, and your left shoulder comes up too much in backswing, flattening out. Watch this and it will change your swing if u do it correctly ▶ this video

Yes you need to steepen the backswing. Ideally you want it above the functional swing -plane. As you can see in the GIF an under-plane/inside takeaway leads to a your shallow backswing so it is your takeaway you need to work on. These videos should help. ▶ this video ▶ this video ▶ this video
