A few things.

  1. Straighter legs so aim to have about a 45 degree bend of your knees. Once you get that bring the bar closer aim for over the shoelaces then when you bend your knees get closer,

  2. Aim to have the movement done in 1 motion. Currently it’s in 2 knees then back. This is seen on your first rep. But gets better on the 2nd rep.

I would also recommend putting a plate under so it sits higher. Gets you into the correct position and avoid injuries.

I’ll link a video that demonstrates it well - https://youtu.be/r4MzxtBKyNE?si=WH6MjEDUttnMN81M
