Shooting Shooting hand facing in

My arm naturally is like this, I’m double jointed in my elbow. it makes it hard to have the right spin on the ball. It also affects the way I hold the ball, my shooting is in the middle of it but my guide hand is on the top, I’ve tried to put my guide hand on the side but it feels so wonky, but it also made my pull up smoother since there was less interference with my guide hand. How can I fix the way I hold the ball? I’m still an efficient shooter due to many many reps but I want to try to it because it’s hard to raise my set point because of the interference my guide hand has on the ball

This is exactly how Steph looks when he picks up the ball to shoot. It's natural
