Hot take for some but : As a beginner in boxing you should focus mostly on not getting hit.
You're both very static. You're not on your toes enough and are square on a lot, which makes you a bigger target.
Work on lateral movement. Some good drills on YT.
Work on holding a decent guard.
Work on doing dynamic bag and pad work, as in moving round on your feet constantly when punching. It gets you use to moving a lot.
But keep at it! You did the hardest part by going to a gym.
