I'm struggling to get the right shoulder motion correct on the downswing. In my current swing, the plane my shoulders rotate on changes little on the downswing, so I beleive I must change this. Is it the increase in axis tilt that lowers the right shoulder or something else? How can I do this without over doing it, which has happened to me on the range?

I used to be a "big muscle" right side rotation player when I was younger. Now that I getting closer to 50 than 40, I'm trying to free up the arm tension and let my hands and arms control the pivot more.
BUT that right shoulder is stubborn! I’ve done a decent job of incorporating the initial move in Brian’s article “Perfect Pivot Part 2- The Downswing: article “the left foot should immediately ‘fall’ back to the ground, ‘starting’ the downswing”.

In Brians Beta video he has an excellent drill for training the downplane movement of the trail shoulder . He makes a backswing with the left hand on the grip with the right hand placed on the shaft near the clubhead with a wide split grip. He bumps left with the hips then swings down . the trail shoulder is forced downplane at the ball where he brings all of himself on the back of the ball. It makes your trail shoulder go lower than it is used to and is a great way for getting the correct trail shoulder downplane feel.
