You have very nice tempo. A good smooth motion, which for many is difficult to learn - nice job with that. Decent balance too.

Mainly I see some alignment issues, aiming right, and some tension at address. Your right arm should be much, much more relaxed and is starting from a position that is too high (right wrist not level and right forearm wedge not aligned).

The SW looks pretty good aside from the right arm tension/position, nice divot, which is missing from the 7 iron shot.

Pay particular attention to the shoulder alignment and the right forearm at address.

Also, very important, turn that left foot open about 30 degrees, which should let you move through the shot while keeping the right shoulder from moving 'out' too early.

The 'left foot right toe' drill would be a good one for you. Hit 3/4 9 irons standing on your left foot and keeping your right foot well back (closed stance) and up on your toe. Again, your shoulders are the key alignment. From this position, exaggerate your release/roll and hit some big sweep hooks. You should feel your right shoulder staying more 'behind' and 'under' your left.

Take a divot.

With that tempo and balance, you aren't far from some excellent golf.
