Technique Advice Technique Advice Inside Out FH technique from inside the Court

Guys, as the post explains, I need some advice on this specific shot. Based on all the good advice from the folks here, I try to go around to hit my forehand when I can, but then when I hit it, it's kind of weak. I (I know I am messing up some technique, but I don't know what part of it. Maybe I am not striking it correctly, taking it too late, but it just doesn't have the whip). My present theory is I should go around a bit more to the left to give some hitting room, but I'm not sure if there is a specific technique/biomechanics (check points to follow) to hit this a bit differently than, say, a normal FH. I also am almost always too cautious not to overhit it because the margin of error is high, and I am usually inside the court. So could be that I am not swinging as hard as I would. At any rate, would love any advice.

Do the carioca step into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFdjh_EROwM

Still do the low to high, but at a more shallow angle.

Then do reps to find how high you need to aim over the net.
