On video, draw a line from the ball through your turned right shoulder at the top of your swing.

should this line to the ball pass on top of the shoulder line or through it?

Through per 10-6-B, The Plane passes through the Right Shoulder.

It's on a shoulder plane, if the swing is powered by shoulder rotation only.

It's on a XXX plane, if the swing is powered by XXX only.

Since most of swings are powered by more than just shoulder rotation, they are on a combination of multiple planes.

It is a specific Basic Plane Angle, regardless of how the
swing is powered.

Paraphrasing from the book in 10-6-0:

Plane angles are classified on the basis of reference points.
One of the reference points is that point reached by the
right shoulder after a Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn.

The right shoulder and hands are always precisely AT the
right shoulder plane at "The Top" regardless of plane angle
or shoulder turn. Any other shoulder turn can also provide
the reference point for a Turned Shoulder Plane.

This plane angle has far better performance characteristics
than any other because any plane angle shift is hazardous.

This does not refer to the Shoulder Turn Takeaway which is
always too flat and/or too low, making a plane angle shift
mandatory.

Neil,
Yeah, that's what I said, only more subtly.
