For flipping the board I would recommend to try hanging your front foot off more. Try to hang it off enough to where you can still have decent balance as you're bending down. Also, check out this video [this video]. It's for a nollie flip but the main thing to pay attention to in that video is how his flicking foot is positioned and how he's flicking. Watch the vid as many times as you need to and when you're out practicing, attempt to flick the same way. Make it play in your mind and then physically attempt to do it, then just rinse and repeat. The pop is also really important for kickflips so make sure that you're popping the same way you do for an ollie, try to always get a good solid snap. I find that when my pop is weak/not solid, the whole trick suffers. That kinda goes for any trick really so always strive to do that. You're going to struggle in the beginning but stay patient and keep persisting.
