So when I throw a trapeze and go into an under mount trapeze to bind, I either don’t pinch well enough or it’s knots up, I’m assuming cause I have to much slackcin there…it’s that what I’m doing wrong

Would it be possible for you to shoot a little video of yourself doing the bind in question? Try to get at least one shot of each: one where to bind slips and one where the bind knots up.

do the undermount with your middle finger, then try to bind. its like getting into a brain scrambler

then put your non yoyo hand slightly higher than your yoyo-hand (bigger loop).  
pinch and move your throwhand up and non-throwhand down  
try crossing the strings a bit.  
if still no bind, life non-throwhand higher for bigger loop  
or do movement faster

As you let go of the string with your non throw hand, give it a good hard tug with your throw hand. This helps to pull the string through the yoyo and stops any loops/snags forming. It takes some time to gain the feel to get to where you can do that consistently but that’s the trick to it
