I think this is fine. Villains range for calling the flop and turn are definately worse aces and flush/straight draws.
I think you just got unlucky if he had 78. I think another line for this hand is to check/call the river which would extract some value if you could induce a bluff from a busted flush or straight draw. U might give up some value from worse aces though, so thats kinda read dependant

If villain is a CS i bet $1.80 on turn then shove any river.

Villain showed a set of 9s and again I was left thinking to myself what went wrong there. Is this poor hand reading on my part???

No it's fine. Just got unlucky. Make a note of how he played the set though.

On every street you are ahead of his range which is probably any ace, flush/straight draws (note this draw is likely to be a combo draw but doesn't have to be) and 99-AA.
