Seems like you are setting the trick more like a backflip than a flatspin. One suggestion would be to open your shoulders more before you take off. Try rotating your body 45 degrees to your right, and "fall back" right as you pop.

your flipping, flat 3 is off axis. You're throwing on axis.

^yea you’re setting a slight spin which is why you land crooked. It’s just a backflip with your left shoulder dropped/open. Keep trying you’re very close.

Try turning your shoulders and head less with the same set.

A flatspin is thrown across the body and slightly back, you set more or less for a backflip with a slight spin.

Try opening your shoulder more, ur just doing a backflip. Think of it as a cross between a Lincoln and a backflip.
