Could someone please help me with the right forearm pick up. When do you start to pick it up?

Should you fan the right forearm and then pick it up?

I would like to understand this some more!

Have you watched the David Orr video about the right forearm takeaway? It will help you to better understand what is really happening.
In my own experience, The fanning starts first, while tracing the plane line. The up back and in parts naturally happens due to extensor action and the check rein of the left arm. It's just a fanning and cocking of the right elbow.
