Nice scarecrow, really good height.
I see what is happening, and it's what I thought... it is happening right as you leave the wake. The way you drop your right shoulder down as you pop and open up to the boat. Right after you pop, your upper body is moving into the 180. There is one point where you can clearly see your face, if you were doing a true front roll, we should be looking at your left ear.
You can also notice that your roll is thrown a little bit out the back. If you were able to pull this around to your normal stance it would be more of an elephant than a frontroll. But the way you're popping, dropping your back shoulder, and opening up to the boat is going to send you out the back and into more of a scarecrow type of rotation.
Focus on popping up first, then go over the front. Think trip flip edge like a tantrum in reverse. In that vid you are pushing your board out in front of you a bit.
BCPMike is right that keeping the handle strong at your front hip will help, but you also need to modify your pop and how you initiate the roll IMO.
Good news is you have plenty of height to work with, so bringing it around and sticking it shouldn't be too hard for you. You gotta really emphasize the front roll motion to get over on your toes... at least I do.
