One single detail is killing my inside tie offense

Ive been wrestling for 3 years and have been using the inside tie a lot for my offense (firemans, opposite-side single, high c…) and ive wrestled people that completely killed my ability to attack from the inside tie by « graping » their arm around it. Hard to explain, but it’s basically kinda the same grip you get when you’re about to hit a slide-by. Their arm goes above, and the back of their hand is sitting right above my armpit. That one hand placement prevents any of my attacks ; hitting a firemans, or a shot, just creates friction and i lose all the momentum. It also prevents me from getting deep in the shot, because the hand keeps distance and literally blocks me ; so i get extended easily.
I couldn’t figure out how to counter this, any advice?

Even against total beginners, when they put a ton of pace and intensity in the match i always get overwhelmed for some reason. A great example is the recent Jax Forrest vs Austin Desanto match, especially the start of it (very high pace) its exactly this kind of situation where i get overwhelmed instantly. Not sure how to fix this, any advice?
