When players lose the ball often, is it usually a technical problem or a thinking problem? What do you think?

Hey guys, I'm new to the community. The reason why I joined this community is that football IQ and awareness are my biggest weaknesses in my game. Currently, I am 17 years of age. For the past 10 years, I've been involved in academies working on my technical side of the game, and my biggest strengths as a left-footed right winger is the ability to take the fullback on with confidence using my skills to put in a cross down the line or cut inside and create goal-scoring opportunities. My technical ability is exceptional, but I struggle to get on the ball more often and showcase my ability on the ball, as well as getting chances near the box to score goals. The problem is that I have little to no knowledge of the IQ aspect of the game because 1. I don't know how to improve it, and 2. not many coaches here in Australia actually teach you this stuff. I often assist my players, but struggle to score goals unless it's individual brilliance rather than receiving from good runs and crosses in the box, etc. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
