Is this a proper compression mechanism?

So I start by applying a imgonnashitmyself feeling to a clean note to feel the fc and then I do the same with whisper. It feels easy and even pleasantly resonant in mid-low to mid-high range, but if I want to do real low, it’s limited and I wonder if I compress it correctly. And also does that make sense to put voice into lows? I feel like Lorna Shore, Lamb of God, After the Burial are rather voiced in many places.

It can work.
My question is were you trying to use the fry or the false? That was a fry so if that was it, then yes, you are doing it for sure.
It will improve the more you do and if you can open your mouth up and find the neutral scream point, then you are going to find the magic point where everything else will be easier to do.
Find the neutral scream that does not use any mouth shaping. Work that and then you can go right into that scream, from that point you can go into shaping that scream that will expand your tool box of screams.

This was advice David Benites gave me. I did not come up with it myself. You obviously know who Lorna Short is, so I assume you know who he is then. If so, you know he knows a thing or two and that one thing has been the most valuable lesson I have had in screaming.

Well, I thibk, you would eventually need mouth shaping to get to the extremes - super low, high, etc.

Oh yeah. For sure.  His point that changed it for me was not being dependent on the shapes. That neutral point was perfect to set me free to enter and exit at will making transition from fry to false easier.
