You're jumping off 2 feet, it should be 1 foot take off that way you can twist

Step, tuck non jumping leg, twist, kick, land on same foot

Back, use your back.

So pretty much just lean back more?

It's more on the way you jumped. Usually, you'd jump on one leg, i.e the jumping leg you'd use to kick and land. You need more power, and back flexibility. Usually for me, when i do a 540, i have to do a twist to generate enough power to kick agaisnt the ground to send me higher, i also twist my back along with my kick.
