Very good start. I would build that support position (up on top of the rings, turn your thumbs out and press downward hard). Rings handstands require a lot of straight arm strength.
when ur going up into a handstand turn the rings parallel...you will balance easier and keep your head even with your shoulders...trust me it took me like a month to get a press on rings
If you haven't already got it, it's just strength that's the problem here. You have to bend your arms past 90 degrees to be able to get vertical legs.
I suggest working on lifts on the floor or paralettes before the rings. off the top of my head that's what I would make sure i could do first (e.g. pike press/elephant lift on the floor) Doing this too often like in the video will strain your elbow tendons badly, which I hear is very painful.

Otherwise, good job man and keep it up :)

I'll take all the advice as I can. I'll work on the strength part. I have started using by feet to help me balance on the strap. Thanks

Unless he already got it... try handstand holds using feet on the straps and (over the course of many weeks) use the feet less
