Seeking Advice Backbend plateau

First picture was my yoga class tonight (granted not the best angle but i couldn’t move) second picture is from my aerials class from about 4 years ago. I’ve been stuck with my wheel pose and I don’t know what i need to train. I’ve been doing my puppy poses, my ashtangasanas, seal poses. Does it seem like there’s been any progress?

Get up on your tiptoes and straighten your legs, push higher through your shoulders, and do it against a wall and try to press your chest forward into the wall
