Few things that stand out:

Arms at set-up

Head moving down on the takeaway

Rotation of the left forearm on the takeaway

All 3 of these are related and end up making it hard for you to have some consistency

Here are my suggestions

Practice the takeaway copying this motion of the left wrist hinging, there is no volume so don't worry about that.  Will make it much easier to strike the ground consistently.

Great! Thank so much! Ironically enough the other day I was working on having my arms more beneath my shoulders and not reaching out so much. I'm headed to the range right now so I'll put your good advice to use and get back to you on how well it worked!

Gracias!

Hey guys, sorry I couldnt get this up yesterday but I was pretty busy.

I tried to do everything mvmac advised and I think its slowly getting there, but it still feels weird to set up to the ball right now.

Here's a 7 iron...

Cheers!

If it doesn't feel "weird" then you aren't making the adjustments

I'd also suggest sticking tees under in each armpit, that will really help change the picture to the set-up.  Can hit balls with the tees under the arms too
