Look, most have a better and a weaker leg. Sometimes it depends on the kick, but usually one leg is better than the other.
If you can kick well with the good leg, then you already know the mechanics of the kick. Try to train in front of a mirror, or in front of a late at night, so you can see yourself. Do a few kicks with the good leg to see what they look like. Then train the weak leg.
I'll give you the following advice -- reduce the height. You are probably trying to match the height of the kick with your good leg, and until you get the mechanics right, it won't work. Kick lower, but concentrate on the technique. Look in the mirror to see what it looks like, as it's much easier to spot problems. Then, when you find a height where you can do a half-decent kick, you have to practice it.
Three times a week, after your workout, do 200 kicks with your weak leg. In front of the mirror. Not until it "feels like" 200, but count from 1 to 200. Three times a week. Keep it as low as you need to get the technique down. When it sits, increase height. Make them 200 GOOD kicks. If you make a few bad ones, don't count them. Concentrate on technique. Each kick counts.

Six months later, if you come here and still say that the kicks haven't improved, I'll eat my uniform and post a video of it.
It works. Kicking works. If you know what it should look like and feel like (cause you can do it with the other leg), then you need to practice. And by practice, I mean thousands of EXTRA kicks every week.
Thank you, I'm glad I asked because I was getting nowhere on my own. Because of some financial problems(children) I have no coach right now and have been getting ready for fights on my own. The only people I have been able to train with are friends with no training except rolling and sparring with me. I really appreciate all of the help and thank all of you for the good advice.
