Right wrist set firm on backstroke.
Right elbow does the work.
Left hand controls clubface for desired hinge action.

Annikan,
Is this you asking for help or justing starting a new thread  ?
For starters...
Swingers, the wrong right arm
Hitters, losing your Impact Fix Right Wrist Bend
Both, mind not in the Hands

Some factors involved....
Improper impact fix (wedges or radius not set)and/or a swing center that moves.
Improper aiming point.
Improper ball position.
Not going to both arms straight.
A right shoulder that moves off plane.

Too much weight on the right foot at address, making it difficult for such a short shot to get enough weight left by impact. Many good wedge players set up with both knees cheating toward the target at address. Also, it is easy to measure to the ball incorrectly and have the left arm bent at address.

Anni,
I've seen your swing, so I doubt this is your problem, but for me, it's always a sway.

Well I only lay sod when "Captain Hit" interferes with my "Ole Reliable" ...Swing.... Usually in the middle of a wonderful waltz....But I 've got a good player who has the right elbow straight prior to impact and #2 Accumulator is still "pretty loaded"..drunk that is....in other words both arm accumulators are releasing and not those of the wrist and hand....Very Late release...
The dog has reached the end of his leash...so he decides to dig a tunnel under the ground....get it!!!
Nice Parallel..Yoda knows what I'm talkin about..reaching the end of the leash....
