Your second and forth try were by the looks of it the right form to get it, in the other two videos you're kind of leaning to the side into a Lincoln loop which is throwing you off, you want to throw the backwards essentially.
hope this good advise from someone who hasn't corked in over a year
Hey man, first of all props for sending it. I was just learning cork 7s at the end of last season and I had a sort of similar issue. I notice 2 main issues in your videos.
1. Not keeping your hips straight and core tight. It seems like you're breaking at the hips a ton, especially in the 1st and 3rd video. In the 2nd and 4th video it looks a little bit better, which makes your axis also better (those didn't land because it looked like you just didn't get enough speed/pop/height). Watch coach trifes video here, he explains it well and explicitly goes into how you should keep your hips straight on the take off: https://youtu.be/oVHVOs790NU?t=139
An examples of your body posture on take off which shows hips not straight:
2. not getting a good pop. make sure you get a strong pop with shin pressure. It looks like you rush the rotation and that causes you to miss the pop. Focus on popping forward and hard and being patient with setting the trick.
An example of you popping poorly (not full extension, backseat):
