Where is the back of right palm facing at the top. I'm a rightist and can bend my right palm backward at about 75 degrees. Would you give us some more precise three dimensional direction where it should pointing at? Thanks!

Well - this isn't quite strictly true but good enough for where you are at being new to TGM and in application all you need - the right palm should face the inclined plane.
Theres many topics on the inclined plane but basically look at my avatar - the plane (eg. a flat surface) goes through the ground (like a roof) and has a straight plane line (gutter). The incline of the plane can change whilst the straight plane line ideally never should. The plane you want to be on at the top of the backstroke is when it is inclined to the turned right shoulder - the reason why is another topic altogether....
For those that are wondering why I said it is not strictly true is that the left flying wedge goes into the plane at an angle - since the vertical condition of both hands turned by acc no.3 goes into the plane thus so should the right palm in a 10-2-B grip.... but application wise right palm to the plane is more than good enough as their intent...
It does not take any real ammount of flexability to achieve this and ideally have the same amount of bend you are going to have at impact.... which would of been cool if it did as my double jointed wrist bends back about 100 degrees without using the other hand to pull it back...lol
