Tried a few shots today. How did I do?
All were shot with a T3, Speedlite and Softbox.

I will say so. I particularly like image #4.
And don't hesitate to crop a bit.

All of your images were captured at ISO 200, 1/200-sec at f/8. I would liked to have seen deeper DoF at f/16.
I suggest increasing your ISO to 400 (+ 1-stop), and increasing your speedlight output by 1-stop, to allow f/16.
Is your speedlight set on manual or TTL?

Actually, this is a crop. I enlarged the original to 100% and cropped this small flower. This is the original.

I have a hotshoe-mounted Canon 550EX speedlite and the large Fotodiox diffuser.

You need to direct the speedlight & diffuser more down, than straight-ahead. This will illuminate your macro subject from above. Set your speedlight to Manual. Set flash pattern to normal or wide-angle to soften light. Adjust the flash output by using the "+" or "-" buttons.
Start with a neutral-colored, stationary subject. After first capture, adjust your exposure by + or - on speedlight.
