Looks like you need to turn your body more and less with your arms. You’re trying to get the depth in the wrong way. This video talks about it. ▶ this video This is another good video and I really like this channel for helping you actually see how the body should work during the swing. ▶ this video The amc channel has lots of videos on rotation and how the hips/pelvis move that might help also.

OP, THIS IS THE ACTUAL CORRECT ANSWER! Sorry for yelling, haha. The other comments are good advice for the downswing, but your backswing is putting you in a terrible spot. You don't have a choice but to cast in order to catch up to the center of your mass as it rotates to impact. Lead arm adduction angle. Angle of the left arm and your collar bone. Athletic Motion Golf is the truth. ▶ this video ▶ this video

u/Stripe_Show69 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Thoughts here?”

Some early extension and your hands work too far inside after the takeaway. The left arm is supposed to be at 90 degrees to your chest when the left arm is parallel to the ground. I took this video to heart and really worked on keeping that angle between my left arm and chest. It will get rid of that over the line move at the top and as a result you won’t have to re-route the club to get it back on plane. ▶ this …

Let me give you a concept as well as a drill (▶ this video This is all good info, but go to 9:38ish.... This is the key. It's hard to get your hands back out in front if they get too far behind your turn to start. I very much like the second drill they offer. This will ensure you're in position at the top so you can get forward. Then exaggerate getting your hands forward (like by your left hip at impact). You'll …

u/PureKoolAid 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “Common miss here - healy slice. Tips or drills?”

Looks kind of like your lead arm is pinned too close across your chest at the top of your swing. This causes a throw out (over the top) motion in the downswing, leading to slices. ▶ this video

You linked an AMG video on shoulder plane. Those guys have a bunch of videos that address the importance of the trail arm position during backswing, specifically the connectedness to the body and the movement of the right shoulder and hands at the start of the backswing (ideally back/down vs forward). I'm seeing the same issue here, starting as he's completing his backswing, his trail arm starts to flatten out …

The butt of the grip at the top of the backswing should be more in line with the middle of your foot to heel. Yours is in front of your foot all together. ▶ this video However if you’re shooting in the mid 70’s I probably wouldn’t advise changing anything until The offseason if at all.

More hip and shoulder turn needed on backswing and less arms. On the backswing the arms keep moving after the shoulders top turning meaning less width and the arms are pinned to the chest. The arm movement in the backswing is very little: check this out, particularly at about 9 mins ▶ this video
