Jeremy a 2 handicapper is shown in the following videos and we are focussing on his set up position before putting. You will notice how his left shoulder is higher than his right......for some golfers this will look normal.
What we strive for however in our putting set up is flat shoulders. You will notice that his putter shaft is angled towards his left hip. This position is very much imitating an iron shot.

Compare set up positions of both these golfers
Important Notes
Shoulders need to be in a flat position
The blade of the putter be in line with your throat
Both arms to be hanging naturally
Shoulders,hips,knees and feet to be square
Set the putter flat and fit your body to it
Pick your target and double check it with the edge of the putter
Concentrate on a blade of grass between your putter and your ball
Jeremy's major areas of improvement will come from aiming better and getting into a more stable and natual set up and eliminating any extra movement or repositioning of his body.

Jeremy has performed this particular putt with the Pure Pendulum putter. The pure pendulum allowed Jeremy to take a more natural set up position which helped eliminate some of his set up issues.
Jeremy makes a great stroke here, with the putter head coming through nice and square at impact. The elements we spoke of above have been used to make this putt.
