few beginner questions

hi Draven, firstly I want to thank you again for making the smoker's voice video for me way back, it finally helped me make the distortion click. I had to take a few months break and just have a few of questions to pick up where I left off:

getting higher fry: when combining head voice/falsetto with smoker's voice, I notice that I can't move the resonance anywhere past the middle of the soft and hard palates. when I try moving the smoker's voice forward to a twang position, the sound comes out very thin and sometimes hits the throat. is there something I'm missing?
low overtones: when I combine head voice/falsetto notes with the smoker's voice, I find that sometimes there's overtones of one octave down. how do I train to consistently eliminate this and achieve just the high note? (similar to Will Ramos' or Alex Koehler's highs)
progressing: once I'm comfortable with the base scream on different vowels and plosives, is there any recommended next step in transitioning to screaming songs? or is progression past this point just self practise and experimentation?

I've also included a very short clip of my practise today, would really appreciate if you can help me see if I'm on the right track. thanks 🙏
