Dont feel bad. Definitely the learning curve on this one.

Finger PAD placement is critical. (youtube vids)

I found a new grip that helped me. Pretty standard finger placement except your weak hand pinky reaches down and around and locks around the other side of the grip instead of laying quietly alongside the other fingers.

When you extend your left elbow the pinky forces the gun right and up naturally. Also allows it to "cant" slightly to avoid that "downleft" push that you tend to put on it.
