You aren't carrying enough corner speed to really get worried about hanging off the bike. The little shift to the side is good, keep practicing it and getting more used to it. Try to keep pressure on the bike with the insides of your thighs and focus on your steering inputs, your sight through the corner and your line though the corner. Keep your spine pretty straight and don't kiss your mirror like suggested above, this is wrong. Keep your torso high, this will keep your center of gravity higher and turn the bike easier and with less bike lean. When you get into riding through high speed sweepers and the wind is catching your torso, you'll then use the kiss the mirror form to edge out the race bike in front of you for that podium finish Also, for now, don't worry too much about which foot peg has the more weight on it, you can get to that later

For now, I think you need seat time and getting more comfortable with it. It seems like you were thinking a lot about your positioning and setting up pretty early, before the corners. Just keep going. Get used to it. Get better at it. Have fun!
