If you are like me and the major axis gives you major headaches: don't worry.
Scott Robertson in his book describes how the minor axis is key to place the ellipse successfully in perspective.
Nevertheless: I made a little animation to make it easier to observe what is happening with the major axis. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R4XWJ1ct1gI
LESSON NOTES
Learn how to draw cylinders in perspective and how boxes can help us draw them more accurately. Do you know the difference between ovals and ellipses? Does a circle need to be “foreshortened” when it's tilted?
If you enjoy this lesson make sure to check out the Drawing Basics course where you’ll get all the fundamental concepts you need to start drawing from reference and from imagination!

It’s finally time to move on from boxes…well kind of. In this lesson we learn about ellipses, how to draw cylinders in perspective and how boxes can help us draw them more accurately.

I think you did pretty good! This is a tricky angle because the major axis is going to be pretty close to the center, just not right on it. It feels almost isometric. I took a quick stab at it and this is what I was seeing, so still very close to the center but slightly closer to us.
