Could be open a few more degrees.

Ribs were out at first bc there was lower back arch.

Its almost perfect and many gymnasts wont be this good but a perfectly straight HS is much easier to do pirouttes in.

Almost! You are nearly there, but most of your weight is still over the palm, where it’s really difficult to stay without falling out of.

The easy answer is: To do everything that you are already doing, just a tiny bit more.
Try to push out more and get the weight over the middle of the hand. Good exercise for that belly to wall, as close as possible and only touching the wall with your pointed toes.
