Washington, to me your draw length looks too short and never was too long to begin with. Your anchor point to me looks a little higher than usual. With a higher anchor point it will put you into the string more. Look at your final pic. Your nock looks to be in front of your eye and not below it. In your video, your release hand does not come back, but it goes upwards. With a lower anchor point, you should be pulling back during the shot, thus making a backwards motion upon release and not upwards as given by the higher anchor point, I like to anchor the pocket of my release hand between my thumb and my index finger on the botton line of my jawbone Try it and you will find that the string will be way out in front of your nose.. With a lower anchor you will find that you will be using more of your stronger skeleton to hold and aim, moreso than your arm muscles. In the pic, you are using more of your arm to make the shot. Also as stated already, the barrel on your release is way to long. You will not be able to pull of a shot by using back tension with as far as your finger is extended. it looks like a little goose to me. Try the little bitty goose where you can shorten that thing right up.

By lowering your anchor point, extending your draw length, and shortening your barrel(release) you should be able to drop your back elbow and get things lined up a little better.
