tips for getting scorpion without band?

this is my scorpion. i use the band to help me into the pose. once i’m in the pose i can hold it myself. i mostly feel like it’s my right shoulder problem/coordination. i am close to getting it without the bands help, i can rotate my left shoulder and get my right to slightly grab the tip of my feet. maybe i need to work on my right shoulder more, i have been trying to. not sure if anyone else had this problem. i’ve been doing superman exercises for back strength, and lots of shoulder stretches, and active back/shoulder exercises. been working on my back and mostly shoulder flexibility a lot, i’ve been practicing flexibility since july 2025. i also try to train my core/hip strength with hollow holds and other types with weights. also hip flexor exercises. but this is the progression so far, any tips can help!
