For lower body Q specifically:
I think overall you are kind of trying to force the braced tilt from the very beginning of the move, but that also means that a lot of your posture is getting in its own way.
1. You are stepping on your X-step and then rising up, rather than being tall or hopping higher in the step before the X-step (I like to call it the "prep step") and then carrying your momentum forward and down. Yours is more subtle than this, but you are
tipping over rather than shifting underneath.
Compare to Simon. Notice his more centered posture and motion of his body and relative height of his head rising in the "prep step." The tilt is part of the overall movement pattern rather than forced throughout.

2. Your upper body is tilted away rather than centered and "stacked" on the legs (crush the can drills, Turbo Encabulator), and your spine and pelvis are pitched way forward up toward the sky rather than being prepared for an athletic "attack" on the line.
Don't worry, there are solutions.
As a grizzled driller, I think you need to pick one thing and work on it until you never have to think about it again. I would probably recommend:
- Doing some work on Hershyzer to adjust your posture for when you start to leverage off the X-step. Get feedback on the details to make your body learn to do it! Then do it with more and more momentum until it's very comfortable.
- Double Dragon for the
"north-south" part of the tilt.
For you I'd estimate at least 3 weeks after getting posture feedback.
Here's a breakdown of some lingo you might encounter around DGCR with the associated "drill map" for the space of problems they work on. "Crushing cans" is implicit in all of these.
