I can only get my first serve in consistently when i'm serving across my body, anyone have any advice?

The quick way to fix it is to rotate your body on the starting position to the right (if you are a rightie), so you will feel like you hitting your serve across your body. You have to experiment how much rotation you will need.

As a rightie, the duece court is easier for my flat serve (and I think that's what you mean by across your body). I use a kick serve to the ad side - brushing the ball and trying to hit the corner so the returner will struggle with his high backhand stroke. My first and second serves are almost the same on the ad court and I slow down the second serve on the duece court (my second serve on the duece court gets pretty weak in a long match).
