I’ve been stuck on this one for years. Any help appreciated. The tower doesn’t form correctly and I get an extra twist and cannot dismount properly

Yo here is a demo with me trying to highlight the steps. If I was gonna post it for real I would make it prettier but I think this shows the steps well.
here’s how I say it in my head,
Yoyo goes around and into back string while crossing th over nth
Uncross and swing around while having Yoyo go over nth
Twist th wrist down and open up triangle
Swing through triangle and curl nth index in so string doesn’t get stuck
Release string around th
Tower!
Dismount
Bold is for the step that is easiest to miss. I also think you’re not doing this step correctly based on your description of how the tower doesn’t form.
Hopefully this helps. Lemme know if you still can’t get it looking right.

Such a cool trick. I will look at it soon. Thank you.
Hey bro. I will let you see what I’m doing wrong. Is it my wrist when popping the yoyo through the bucket before the picture trick? Getting an unwanted twist in the string. Thanks so much. https://youtu.be/JRsiq30Z6vY?si=zWnE8WMsqKGFKid2

Yeah so it’s at the part I made bold. You gotta turn the wrist down and then pick up the string with th thumb before you go through the triangle. In an hour or two I will have a minute to film the trick from a different angle and I’ll try to highlight how you gotta turn it. It’s hard to see in the original video.

Ok. Thanks buddy. I appreciate all the help. This trick has been on bucket list for too long now.
Okay here is one more video. The angle is similar but it’s kinda the best I could do. Hope it helps good luck!

Hi GT. Although you brought me much closer to landing the trick, I am getting an unwanted wrap when dropping the tower. Don’t know what is causing it. Thanks. https://youtu.be/ZhNY3iRvDm0?si=w41wYry-BLfuEJ96

Keep the string coming off the middle finger away from you. It should be two strings in the front one in the back and you’re doing two in the back and one in the front

OMG!! Finally nailed it. I had to isolate the slipknot string from going into the triangle. https://youtu.be/52W0_0d3jMg?si=1ojeJNy-UD1RER2e

Thanks again for the help. *Cough, cough… I have one more trick maybe you could look at called double Eiffel Tower. I know all the steps but cannot get the tower to form on the last step. Another cool one. Thanks. https://youtu.be/eymJa5fu1wo?si=TZuNO1dHAuMnVGz5
