Lower half pitching mechanics

One thing that I have been struggling with for the last few months has dealt with my lower half landing in line towards home plate. I feel that ability to do this, or the lack of plays a huge role in my ability to be successful. As of recently, my back knee has been collapsing early, which causes multiple flaws later in the delivery. One thing I feel that it affects is my hand break. I feel that when my knee collapses, it causes my hands to delay the time they break. Just before my hands break, they move outwards from my body, then break. This then causes my arm to move like a pendulum (if you are watching from a centerfield view). This causes my arm to be very late into landing, which is causing my command to be very poor. I was wondering if somebody would be willing to tell me if my analysis of my problems are correct, and how I can address these problems, especially the problem that deals with the collapse of my back knee. I have been fighting that battle for a while now, and I just can't seem to find a break through. All help is very much appreciated, thank you!
