Hi Humza,
You need to get your arm moving faster while maintaining the same stroke in general. To get your arm to move faster it needs to remain relaxed and swing through fully.
You are right with aiming to get the contact a little flatter but you still need some topspin to get the ball to dip onto the table.

Ok thanks, is that is though? Just keep your arm relaxed allowing u to move it faster? I'll try it but somehow I feel I'm moving it as fast as i possibly can

I'm no expert! And I haven't seen your stroke. But when my coach got me to bring my arm back a little farther so I could take a fuller swing, it increased my power a lot. This involved a bit more rotation of my trunk which probably adds some leg power to the stroke.
Apparently I was concentrating on the forward part of the stroke and neglecting the backward part.
