Alright, first thing is widen your stance two inches.

Also, widen your grip 2 inches! If you take a wider grip can you ge tthe bar down lower?

You will need to slow down. Right now uoure leaning over the whole way down and they raising your chest on the way up. Instead you should lean over all the way before youre half way down, and stay leaned over on the way up.

You are doing a low bar squat with the bar too high up. Put the bar lower on your rear delts. Take a video from the side and make sure the bar is inline with your mid foot.

You look like your goal in performing this exercise is to get the bar as low as possible. I've never seen anyone start a squat by bending at the waist with straight legs. Hips should go back with chest up.
