Not sure what you mean but if you mean your not square on with your opponent that is a good thing. If your side on you have used your footwork to create an angle to land a punch. Once again hard to explain without showing you.

Yes the footwork drills you find on YouTube are good. Start out simple tho. Forward, backward and side to side. Put a cross on the floor with tape, put your front foot in the middle and work your rear foot around the other ends of the tape (4 ends).

I think shadow boxing is under estimated. Shadow box with no punches, just footwork. Also light sparring.
