Right shoulder and swing plane question

I'm one of those people with a very rounded looking swing.

My question is: should the right shoulder work "north/south" - vertically - or horizontally in the back swing and downswing?

Is this an area to focus on?

I feel my own works mostly "east/west" (horizontally).

Quite happy with my own swing at the moment but some hooking issues,

I include some video of my own golf swing to help illustrate the issue - the overall shape and character of the swing (and in the hope of receiving advice!)

Funny thing, the look of the swing has not changed massively over the last 3-4 years, but the ball striking is completely different level, especially since 'Ideas About The Release' and some coupling point/going normal info from here.

Yikes I don't understand.

I'll take it away and think it over for a bit.....but anyone who can add further understanding, please do.

OK so made a proper change - I'm allowing the left arm to swing 'over' my chin.

I had a major misconception that the top of my left shoulder had to stay 'under' my chin (to make that Ben Hogan wear spot of course!) but I'm now just making the arm go where it needs and not worrying about this. Big change in feel and backswing plane, though the flat tendency is still there.

Tom Watson here (see 0:16) gets across what I'm talking about - his left arm is making a lot of contact with his chin and face, not way underneath it.
