There are two things that immediately jump out at me, though having only the one angle is limiting on how much I can see:
1. You seem to be pushing the ball away on the third step of your five step approach. While having only the one angle prevents me from seeing if this is creating late timing at the line, using what is, in effect, a three step approach will cause you to muscle your armswing which is evident on a couple of very errant shots. Regardless of how many steps a bowler chooses to take, bowling is based on the last four steps before reaching the foul line. I think that if you can learn to push the ball out with your second step, you will notice an immediate difference in accuracy and consistency.
2. In terms of keeping your hand behind the ball, the shot that really jumped out at me was when you threw your spare ball at the five-ten split. Your hand stayed in a very good position throughout the shot. This leads me to believe that you are trying to make the ball hook on your strike shot. With modern bowling balls, less is really more. The more we "try" to make them hook, the less they hook. Conversely, the less we try to make them hook, the more the balls built-in strength takes over, and the more the ball hooks.
