You're getting closer, I think.

Here's another try.  I've never messed with the shadow buffer before.  But this one was done using DCG's GI Shadow Catcher.  It works the best for this kind of stuff.

The trick here is to turn off Ambience and set the HDRI Background lighting to 200% so that the infinite plane doesn't appear in the render.  Then lower the brightness back to 100% using a photo editor.
