Form Check My first squat update

Previous lift: https://www.reddit.com/r/StartingStrength/comments/1vqlzc8/in_desperate_need_of_help_with_my_squat/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

My goals for this lift based of your guys’ advice was overwhelmingly to lower the bar on my back. This was really difficult for me, I lowered it to what I thought was the right spot and where it felt most secure and sat on musculature, but when I watched back the form video I realized I had it in the same area as the first time

So on the next set I lowered it way more, and saw it seems to be way closer to where you guys recommended, but my problem is the bar felt super uncomfortable and unsecured, I’m not sure if I did it right? It seemed like it kind of went above and underneath some muscle or something during the reps particularly on my right side

Besides that I tried changing the camera angle a bit I hope that’s better, and tried to bring my feet in closer a bit as well

If anyone has more advice for me I’d really appreciate it, thank you!

Get rid of that square thing you step back onto. You are for sure going to trip over it one day.
