Can't post a pic . However , I did notice in analyzing my practice swings , that when I made a shorter shoulder turn my hands stayed together . Perhaps I a have been turning too much on   my  backswing  ?   When I make my regular swing ,my hands naturally separate .at the conclusion of the backswing .

my hands separate as soon as i try and get too much out of my turn or shortly after my left arm breaks from straight.

this is a consequence of an overly flat backswing in my case. left arm across body, wrists cock sideways instead of up and the left arm breaks down, pulling the hands off the grip if i force it.

poor mechanics on my part caused by right elbow going behind my shirt seam.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that

Can you post a video?

Really tough to help without seeing what's going on. Too much turn is probably not the issue, the arm swing may be too long but I doubt you're actually turning your body too much.

This might help.
