Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My bet is that you are reverse pivoting. i.e dropping the left shoulder, as well as your head, whilst making a back swing by simple raising your right shoulder to lift the club up, pushing your right hip away from the target in the process - not really pivoting, or rotating the hips, at all.

For a drill that may help you to correct that, try to ensure that your left shoulder brushes the underside of your chin on the back swing and finishes behind the ball.
