Ways to fix it --
Watch another ref that does it right. Then before your game, put yourself into a "Johnny Jones" frame of mind. Walk like Johnny Jones, signal like Johnny Jones, tweet like Johnny Jones.
What you're doing is performance art. Think of it that way. Think of it as a dance. You need to have the right combination of crispness and relaxed confidence. Right now you don't. You just look sloppy. Find the balance.
At home practice in front of the TV. Watch a game tape, and blow when they do. Practice going directly to the correct position.
Are you old enough to remember Abby Hoffman and the Black Panthers? Think of their fists over their heads. It was ALWAYS 12 o'clock. Make a statement! ... like they did. Hey that's a foul! Right on! Ref Power!
