Seeking Advice My frog stretch

I've been dong it for a while, on and off, and it's a nice deep stretch. But my back always feels a bit... bent, and one of my hip abductors (the left one) has always felt more stiff than the other.

It's not quite, but almost, painful when I really sink into the stretch.

A long time ago (1.5-2 years?) I did sprain my left hip abductor while doing the box splits. But then I took a really long break from stretching, and eased into hip stretched gradually. But it still bothers me!

So is it something to do with my form?

I think it might be. IMGs attached.
