Swamp Magic
The reason I asked is that if you are setting the driver at impact fix with it's natural loft and lie angle and then taking your grip with everything lined up properly, the clubface shouldn't deloft at impact as severely as you've described. Assuming you are coming back into it with those angles. As it is setup, so should it return. Yoda hovers the driver at impact fix and also address to assure his impact fix alignments don't change.

As a swinger, you should also have the clubface opened a few degrees at impact fix to account for horizontal hinge motion through impact.

The difference between impact fix and adjusted address isn't huge, just a shift of the hips back to neutral and moving the hands is optional. If you are a hitter, then it is advantageous to leave them in their impact fix position as you carry the club back in the backstroke. Assuming you are a swinger, then starting the hands mid-body helps as you drag the club back with the right arm pickup in the backstroke.

If you are coming back into impact delofted, then something else must be going on. A visit to the swamp always seems to work it's magic.
