I am not sure that's the right way to fix cross-domiinant eye "issue". I am exactly like you, and slightly near-sighted as well without glasses. With the 5-months I am in, I can shoot straight at 12 meters distance fairly accurately without any adjustment to many of my guns. I started with 45ACP and went backwards to have some 9mm just to cover all the calibers. To me, it's all about proper grip, stance and trigger pull with tons of practice.

Here's an interesting reference manual: it's quite old, but the basic concepts haven't changed since the Romans found the need to hold their breath when triggering their ballistae (just kidding!).
Shoot to Live. Check chapters 2 to 7, in particular.

Low left is almost always anticipation of recoil.
Get some dummy rounds dummy up your mags (mix of live and dummy rounds) and have someone watch your gun. It shouldn't move a lot on the dummy rounds

For a left eyed right handed shooter, shooting one handed, move your hind leg to bring the sights in line with the target. As opposed to moving your arm. Really sounds like you need to move the sights though.
Your finger should be on the trigger with the highest part of the pad a bit left of the trigger.
Good or better ear defenders will help with the flinch you really don't have. You're reacting more to the BANG than the felt recoil.
I think you can get an adjustable sight for an M22. Might be worth looking into. Or spending a big hunk of money on a sight pusher.
