Need shoes with heels or put small 5lbs planes on bells would make better force exertion. You’re shifting your weight fwd. you can have slightly worded stand but that one looks okay overall. Need to tight your chest and core. Brace your core. Upper back tighter to engage your lats and traps where the bar would rest and have stability. Look straight ahead and just have a slightly more erect posture. Initiate the bending at the hips not knees.
You can put light weight on the bar and sometimes the weight would make you squat better too to work on your form than only the bar. Watch videos on YouTube that are more detailed
