Questions about boxing

I've been training in muay thai for about a year (i'm 15 now)
Since I just started my trainer didn't throw me straight into muay thai and it's more like i'm doing kickboxing.

yet I still feel my boxing needs an improvment, a big one.
I can't deflect any punch or avoid it, I barely succeed in guarding it.
I can't get myself to hit my opponent on sparring, on a real fight I have no mercy but I can't train like that..
I can't connect any hooks or uppercuts and it's driving me crazy, and I feel I can generate alot of power throwing an uppercut.
Also i'm a southpaw, yet it seems to have alot of weaknesses like having my liver closer to my opponent.
I have a long range for my weight
I weigh 54 Kg and my height is 1.73m

I want to be able to connect hooks and uppercuts, I want to avoid punches and it's not like I don't know the movement..I know it but I can't execute it on time

I want to get better..how should I work on all of the stated above?

Have you asked your trainer these questions, or did you come here first? He should be giving you feedback during and after sparring, keep your right elbow closer to protect the liver for southpaw, rotate your palm inward and it will naturally bring in the elbow.
