Your lead hand looks ok but your right hand is too strong. The valley between your heel and thumb pad on your right hand should cover your left thumb so basically more on the side of the grip than under. You don’t really want to see all that space between your hands and you should just see the Vs between both hands thumb and index finger pointing at your trail shoulder.

Super strong. The other very noticeable swing flaw is how your head moves forward on the backswing. It’s in good position at address and should stay there until the finish.

Yes, you should work on your grip. Looking at PGA pros generally will lead you astray as most of those guys are 6 foot+, had many years of professional training to get where they are, and apply all of the correct ground forces so their grip is an extension of what they look for in their shot shape to have a predictable miss.
I’d recommend you watch the LPGA a bit and see how their grips and swings work sequentially as most of their distances will line up with better male golfers. You have an extremely strong right hand and it will cause you more issues later if you don’t fix it now. Learning to “play your miss” will hurt you in the long run if you have just begun playing.

Go buy a grip trainer for like 8.99 on Amazon.

It’s pretty strong but doesn’t look crazy strong to mine. There appears to be a couple of other faults I would work on first, and that grip can work fine.

That’s where I’d start. Weaken that puppy up a bit.

You have a very strong grip with your right hand low. But I wouldn’t say that’s your main issue. The first thing I noticed is improper weight shift on the backswing. Have you had lessons?

Yes, work on that grip. Way too strong and unbalanced. With that grip, you have to hold off on the release and thus you have a chicken wing.
I’d say that it would probably be impossible to get rid of the chicken wing without changing the grip.

Looks like super strong train hand. Just turn it over so that the v between your thumb and forefinger of you trail hand point to your tight shoulder.

Think more athletic. Work on the swing first and then adjust the grip to your miss.

What’s your normal miss?
