Teddy- Am I doing this right?

Hey everyone! So, I've come down with some kind of crazy, and decided I'd like to learn the Teddy hold. It's hurt me a lot so far... So, I have to ask, am I doing this thing right? Normally, a certain amount of pain is to be expected when learning a new hold (and especially on very soft, sensitive skin!), but... DAMN this one hurts a lot! I've had bruises on my biceps for a while! I would like to know if I've got the hold right on the arm: is it right in the armpit, or is it a little down? Is it right on the bulk of my bicep? Should I be turning my arm in toward the pole, away from, or relatively neutral? I've got the whole hip-in-front thing, and that seems to help a little bit... but all of my weight is still on my arm, and it pinches like a b!7ch! I also ask because... I've not been able to hold myself up for longer than a second before the pain is just too much for me. I'm gonna keep practicing, but I'd like to make sure I'm doing it right! Thanks everyone! ❤️
