You should get to your hand as soon as possible and not settle for being on your elbow. If you watch Marcelo do it he always gets to his hand. It makes it a lot harder for your opponent to run their legs around your head and gives you the opportunity to role them if they insist.
Sounds like you might be too slow to build up to your elbow, getting height with your head and shoulders off the mat is important to stop them from going north south. Alternatively, maybe you are trying the escape while they have a high side control on you, like a chest to chest side control. I think this escape works best when they are in a lower side control, on top of your hips. If they are in a higher side control, its easier for them to counter this escape by going into north south, so I'd recommend trying hip escapes instead.
Also remember to expect your opponent to react to adjustments you make (that's a sign of a more experienced opponent). If you're framing the arm and they start to step around, you can always reach your arm underneath and slide out the other way (sometimes called a "ghost escape"). Just be mindful of your frames so they don't get leverage to isolate an arm.
You have to stay facing them at all times, keep a post, and your grip should be on the back of their tricep. If you do not adjust to face them as they turn to north south then yes the angle will break the grip

This never works for me, they just step over my head with their left leg and go into a north south variation
