I know that an on-plane backswing is not the be all and end all, but I hit the ball very poorly whenever it gets way to the inside.
Here is what I am trying to do:
Take the club ‘straight back’ for as long as I can.
Utilize a weak right hand grip IMHO, a strong right hand just invites dragging it low and to the inside.
Lift arms up
90* to the spine shoulder rotation (as per Monte’s long standing advice).
c0ck wrists with minimal/no ‘’palmar flexion’ of right wrist during takeaway.
…and as you can see from this video, I only occasionally manage to get it right.

I am doing everything I can to get above-the-plane and can barely get on plane.
Which of the above am I failing to implement correctly?
What else can I try?
Some times I am just on plane until club is parallel to ground, but am under plane in the top half of backswing...how does that happen?
Note: the camera height is probably a few inches higher than my wrists at address. Is there a parallax issue?
