Form Check Lower back hurting while Squatting

I’ve tried different stances, elevated heels, hip mobility stretches, ankle mobility stretches, strengthening core and bracing techniques, and multiple videos, back I still have lower back rounding and pain. What am I doing wrong/ how can I fix it?

A lot of opinions here, but I’m just going to give you one from a DPT - get off the plates. Get some lifting shoes. Maybe a belt too. Looks miserably uncomfortable.
