The immediate thing that jumps out is that your stance is way too narrow. I can link setup guides if you need, but it contributes to some of your issues. This inhibits how your trail leg needs to work in the downswing, you trail leg is way to bent this far post impact because it has no room to work in the proper way. Here is an AMG video going through fixing a similar issue (after you fix your stance width). ▶ this …

▶ this video These guys have lots of good videos on each part of the swing. Start your swing with 60% of your weight on the right heel, 40% ball of left foot.

I would focus on trail foot/knee/glute. Some better camera angles would be more useful, but I don’t think you are loading the trail side properly, so when you fire your hips you just spin out. Part of slowing down the hips in sequence relies on applying proper ground forces. That being said, you are athletic/coordinated enough to time things up correctly but it will lead to consistency problems on course. A big tell …

Here is a video addressing the knee kick: ▶ this video I find it helpful to slightly flare my trail foot out and it prevents me from kicking it forward too soon.
