Backhand throw. Any help appreciated.

You footwork looks pretty smooth but that camera angle isn't that good for us to help you with. If you could get it from behind and in front we could see your release and overall timing better along with the angle of your feet, hips and shoulders.

From that video I have a suspicion you releasing the disc too early in your follow through.
 
You need to load/turn more into your rear hip balanced more toward your toes(forward tilt chest toward knees) with a lower reachback. With your high reachback, if you were swinging on plane you would be throwing down into the ground 10' in front of you, instead you change the release angle nose up which is a distance killer.






 
You are striding/swaying way right to left to over compensate trying to plant closed but not braced upright enough through the front leg/hip, and end up spinning your rear hip/leg around your front hip and toes instead of your rotational axis being braced/centered through the front hip and heel and spine with both your hips aka the pelvis spinning/pivoting/swiveling equally centered.

Move straighter down the tee pad, brace more upright into a closed front hip and heel and then clear the front hip out/back so your hips/pelvis/body/spine/rotational axis swivel/pivot centered and faster. You don't want the rear hip/leg going/orbiting around the other hip, this means your swing center/rotational axis is drifting around the front hip and slower/not powerful. Your rear leg/foot should go more behind your front leg forward like in Hershyzer second half or kicking the wall in Buttwipe.
