You've been Heeled
Although I've posted this before, the following drill has helped many cure the heels and shanks:

This will give you immediate feel of getting the right shoulder down on plane. If you have not been doing this then it will feel quite different.

This single drill got me to focus on my right shoulder and I can now feel immediately when I am not down on plane with my right shoulder. I took film after this drill and the difference is quite startling."

Now try to "over-cook" the feeling by trying to hit the ball on the toe of the driver , which as kmmcnabb points out you can't, but you get the picture. Repeat, over and over and over...
