You sound like what i used to do which is once you start your takeaway you DIP your left shoulder down which will raise your right shoulder and create the high right shoulder. This makes it very hard to get it back on plane in the downswing.

The backswing pivot article discusses and shows a flatter turn and the video shows brian demonstrating it as well.
