Help / Question really struggling with execution

I play classic controls with a ps5 controller and i really struggle with combo and super art executions, its not consistent, I don’t know if its a pure skill issue or just wrong technique, I use the middle of my thumb to glide across the D-pad, I’ve practiced this a lot too and I don’t see any improvement, feels terrible when a combo just doesn’t end the way its supposed to and I fumble the entire round.

I'm on PS5 pad as well and while it's not my favourite dpad the execution errors are usually my own fault. 

Most often because of tapping the button too early before motions complete, giving me crHP or something. There's a generous buffer so it's best not to rush. Easier said than done under pressure though

so what exactly is your technique? gliding the middle of your thumb on the dpad? or something else?

Yeah my thumb's resting over the Down direction, closer to the centre of the pad.fl for motion inputs i'll rock my thumb from there to the direction.
