i think your not patient enouf and when you are going for a grab you forget the spin technique .
so when you are going for a grab , wait a little, even if you grab for a fraction of a second . take your time , you got almost 3 sec in the air , don't need to grab has soon has you take off .
so has you pop and spin , count a second in your head then go for the grab . the feeling will come to you and you are gonna start grabbing sooner and sooner .
hit me back if it does'nt work

i'm pretty much in the same boat but i can occasionally shittily slap on a mute or something into a three....is it better to start on a bigger jump for this? it feels like it would be intimidating but could help. i've never grabbed a 5 or 7, and that would be nice to learn eventually. jump size matters, so what do you recommend working with? thanks!!

For grabs its good to be patient. When you're first trying them with a 3 or somthing, wait till you're at 180 for the grab cus if you try to throw in a grab right as you start  your spin, you might set your rotation wierd and crash. Also, just go hit jumps for a while practicing just grabing so the feeling of reaching forward for a mute or something becomes easy and natural.

for sure a big jumps helps , more time in the air but its also scarier and when shit goes wrong it hurts. but you have time im the air to see what you are doing wrong. i would say a floater 40 ft jump
for your 540 , i would say way until you have done a 360 then grab the last 180 , stay in a tuck position hands close to knees or boots . DO NOT RUSH THING, slow movements only , has relaxe has possible , everything will be in slow motion if done right
same for 720 but bigger wip .
