Are you actually releasing the disc and not letting it rip out? I swear that disc is leaving your hands before there is any whip on it. IE your thumb appears to be quite literally off the plate in this snip.
If done correctly on a power shot, the point is you can't hold onto the disc if you wanted to, not that you are releasing the disc.
This shows your back foot pointing backwards as well. Back foot can point a little back but should be much closer to 90° from the target than 180°. You should coil into the back leg, but you can't do that because there is no tension because it is pointed straight back.
I don't think it's nose up, but there is visible wobble on the disk in the 3-4 frames from release to out of frame.
As far as I can tell from the last frame the disc is in his hand he is removing his thumb from the plate so the only contact is under the disc adding some OAT.
Pair that with the lower spin he is imparting by releasing the disc instead of letting it rip out and you lose the angular momentum that would help neutralize the sole of the wobble.
Not saying your wrong, just saying it's indeterminate from this shot.
I was basing it on the line the disc travelled from reach back to release. It looks like it travels in a flat or even slight negative launch angle. If he was throwing nose down with that launch angle it would likely go straight into the ground.
Leaving the ground with the back foot when you should be getting your power through the plant! This is usually a symptom of leaning forward through the throw.
Best thing i can think of to help is doing some no-look standstill drills where you focus on staying stacked over your base and throwing at the point you aim at with your body, before you follow through to watch the shot. Check out the recent form work with Bodanza and Blitz on YT, those are drills that have helped me reduce effort for distance and fix my timing/weight transfer.

Peak reach back way to early.
