Well, you are a 6 handicapper, which is better than 80% of members here (including me).
I would start with basics - ball position, getting quick at the top, getting handsy?

Possibly upper body sliding ahead of the ball... has your stance narrowed noticably?

Pure guess work without any pics or vids.
Are you hanging back and flipping at it with your hands??

Its not ball position as i checked that this morning before going out for a few holes. I tend to have a narrow stance but when i tried widening it things got worse

Why do you think a shallow swing is to blame?? A "shallow" swing is perfect for a fairway wood off the deck as long as you ball position is ok.
If it is related to you shallow swing and you are hitting them "toppy", I'd say that your ball position isn't as ok as you thought.

I mean getting stuck inside due to the shallow swing if this makes sense? Im confused

Do you also hit a block in amongst your bad ones at the moment??

No . Either hit the snap hook/top thing or a very low draw

As I say, it's guesswork without seeing the shots.
If this is the problem (club trapped too far behind you, back foot flip with hands) then the hook and the block aren't far away from each other. If you never released your hands then it would be going straight right.
At least you're in good company with this fault, it was/is Tiger's problem too.

Would turning the hips a bit later help me in this? . Now only if i had the same problem as Tiger off the course

Is it maybe something to do with keeping your weight too much on the back foot on the way down?

As Mr Hacker has mentioned above, maybe not getting 'into' the shot.
Try practice swinging with one hand, the other behind your back and see if this follow through feels the same as your two handed swing.
If not perhaps it will offer an indication as to the problem.. ball position, staying on back foot or even a bit of 'over the top' - the latter being impossible with a one handed swing.
