Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

Your release doesn't seem terrible, but you could have a lower track because you're thumb is in the ball while you're trying to turn it. The video was real clear, so I could be mistaken. My track can get low when I do that. 
Any turn you put on the ball should be after your thumb clears the hole.

It does appear your thumb is in the ball while you are rotating your wrist around the ball.  Have you measured your PAP to confirm that you do have a low track?

Where's your oil/track lines on the ball after you throw it?  For a quick guess take a look at the pic, my track lines start at number 3 than it migrates towards & past 1 as it goes down the lane.  If you were a spinner your track would be somewhere below 1, low track around 1, med. 2 and a high tracker 3.  Which one is yours?  Usually if your a high tracker, your release is pretty much up the back of the ball.  But this will give you a quick generalized answer.  For the truest answer, roll the ball and have your track measured by someone who knows how to do it.

My track is 4 right 0 up I do know that. and i'd say guessing it would start between (1) and (2) or (1) in your diagram. I'm avg pretty well round lower 220's but always looking for ways to improve and I'ts difficult for me to understand how to stay more up the back of the ball and maintain rotation. My other specs are (when we last used the digital software) was rev rate 307 speed 17.5 and rotating about 45-50.  Thanks to everyone taking the time to reply

If you do measure your PAP use a ball that does not flare much.  The best would be a plastic ball.  If you really want to rev it up you will need to get inside the ball and rotate it while releasing it.  If you do it right you will have a lot of rotation and you will stay behind it.  Chris Barnes is a perfect example of that.  Although, it appears from the recent TV shows he's tilting it more to get it down the lane further.

it appears to be fine it you just have a good amount of tilt into your release.  Which is a nice trick to have.
