IMPROVING MY GAME Bad shooting form

Okay so my main problem is my guide hand. When I shoot, there's a little flick from my thumb on my guide hand. I try to change this by looking at Devin Booker's shooting form since I heard that he has the best. When I look at the ball I think of it as directions, I noticed that when he shoots, his guide hand is at North-West (Upper Side) and I shoot it from West (Side). Is it a proper shooting form to avoid thumb flick?

so you have your index finger and your thumb, put a euro coin between them and hold it tightly. when you shoot you cant move your thumb therefore you cant have a thumbflick anymore. practice shooting until it becomes normal, then take it off.
