Then maybe the reverse would work? Think if your right shoulder going through the target _under_ the swing plane. In reality if you do this, I find the left shoulder has to go up.
I have the same problem once in a while, I find staying behind the ball and powering through it from the inside a few times in a row really reinforces Brian's segment on coming down with the right shoulder on plane. (I personally prefer under plane since coming from a bit inside is harder for me to do).
I'm no expert though. So just my two cents.

Not to sound too harsh but:
Seems like all you do is say "I can't do this _____" and then post your swing. Not counting but this is probably your 10th time you have posted your swing (at least it seems).
Have you taken a lesson? Have you purchased any of Brian's videos?
"no matter how hard i try it wont go up" - SERIOUSLY? Either you are not working hard enough or maybe you need to go to the Dr. Have you watched any of Brian's FREE videos?
No magic pill...
no offence either.....i do ask alot of opinions...i had a lesson today which was to work on not rotating my forearm as much in backswing...but i think there are more important things to work on.
i play golf every day so i get plenty of time to practice....i do work hard enough and properly but it wont really go up, more around.

Have you tried the feeling of trying to get your right elbow to the ball before the left elbow?

It's weird.............
And I'm no expert.............
But all I can think..........
Is that 1. either you are too into positions...........
Or 2. there is something else causing you to (have to) come out of your tilt.
...cause you seemed to have tried about as hard as you can TO tilt.
(if the "just do it" approach doesn't work...)
(...you gotta think outside the box...)

BTW you have a very good backswing pivot............(but are you holding your right knee still?)...
And you sound like you are putting a pretty good *thump* on the ball.
I see a bent left wrist at the top. Not necessarily bad. (u have strongish grip too) Just curious if you have u tried flat? (with a neutral grip)

you are a flipper. watch confessions of a former flipper.
In your downswing, your head is moving toward your target before impact. You must keep your head back for your left shoulder to go up and your spine to tilt. Actually, your head should tilt away from your target to stay in line with your spine tilt. This will allow you to swing through impact with full extension of your left arm.
Keep your eyes focused on where you want the leading edge of your clubface to come in just under your ball.

i will chime in birdie, but having worked with medici, he has a neutral grip, and he informs me he has for a while, and it does get pretty flat at the top

What I see in the swing you posted here is a nice backswing pivot, followed by a slide to the right (toward the target) at the beginning of the downswing. Your center gets so far forward that there's no way you can tilt enough and no way you can get your left shoulder up.

I don't understand why you are trying to keep your shoulders closed at impact. It seems to me that trying to LIMIT the amount your shoulders OPEN might also cause you to limit how much the left shoulder goes up.
In NSA Brian describes it as getting the left shoulder 'UP AND BACK', so being more open seems like a good thing to me.
I would also echo Curtis's question: have you purchased Brian's videos? Are you trying to work on a particular pattern? It might help to 'try to do things' within a particular context and plan for your swing, and Brian's videos are really helpful for that.

Pretty cliched but have you tried hitting balls with you feet together or a very narrow stance? From there I find if you move left your right shoulder has to come down because if you have an upper body dive you'll fall over or lose balance

I'm certainly no expert on tuition but have you tried swinging down to half way or even so club is parallel to the ground on downswing, stop and then hit a few shots from there swinging arms only to the halfway through swivel? (See front cover or NSA 
)Keeping body totally still, shoulders, hips etc.
Not what you'd do normally but to feel the opposite to what you are doing now might help.
I have had success with this before, snapping the chain by the body stopping (it never does of course) and the hands arms and club tearing through impact....
Or take advantage of the UK pound and do a web lesson with Brian
