So, in the Two Plane Swing, your spine angle is upright, and your spine tilt is away from target.

In the One Plane Swing, your spine angle is more bent over, and your spine tilt is centered or square (neither towards or away from target).
Ah, okay, my bad.

But in both swings the trailing hand is lower on the club than the leading hand, so something has to give. Either you tilt your spine away from the target, or you dip your trailing shoulder, thus opening your leading shoulder to the target. You can't keep the spine straight and the shoulders square and still have the club in line with the left arm, I don't think.
