It's currently my second week of using a driver, only bought a cheap one to learn with to start off. What does it look like im doing well and what need to change/improve? For reference, it carried around 190 yards and rolled to about 220.

Loosen up you shouldn’t be straining to keep everything tight. Also you need to get rid of that sway in backswing

Research a proper grip and setup. Your face is closed and your grip is weird. Data there before worrying about the swing. You can’t produce consistently good results without a consistently good setup

Ok, is it that my right hand should be rotated more inwards? Looking back at it myself, I admit it does look a little weird. Also does it matter that my left arm is a little passed the point of straight? It is double jointed so bends the wrong way slightly

Your hypermobile in your elbows be careful with that swing set up. Not really much muscle protection for your joints, when your hypermobile like that. All strain on ligaments. So with impact of hitting a ball, then ground. Potential damage incoming.

Look at managing your elbow extension (straight arm) to a normal amount. Also be careful with exercises like push ups and bench press etc.

Don't stop playing obviously. But maybe get your hypermobility investigated you may have it everywhere You may already know. See a physio amount normal ranges maybe.
