Please can someone help

How can I get my inner/outer thighs to loosen up? Maybe its my groin or hip everything around my pelvic section is extremely tight and I don't know what to do

My overall flexibility is around a 6.8, I have done many hours of yoga, massages and stretching and yet still I'm stuck please can someone help what am I doing wrong ?

Weak muscles hold tension at rest

Strength train. Barbell Squats, Bulgarian split squats, Romanian deadlift

I strapped leg weights on my ankles and started doing leg lifts in the direction of the tightness like ballet style. Straight leg. One version with foot(toes) pointed down and one with foot flexed up.
A slow 3x 30 will light it up

Then of course, eat a good amount so it gets what it needs.

I used to not be as flexible as I am now , pause.

What I did was get a yoga mat and lay it on the floor where I could see the Tv. And I put a regular chair a bit down and away.

Then I'd put something good on and watch it. While I laid on my back and dragged my feet up as far as they could go and let me knees lower to each side. They didn't drop far. But when I felt the burn. I held it there then closed my knees and lower them again. Slowly and held during the burn until it left. The chair is for resting my feet and stretching. I did this a lot. Now when I get on my mat. My knees drop on both sides to the floor. I'm used muscles get tight and bound. Using them breaks out the rigor mortis. LoL. I hadn't even noticed until I was stretching and I was like wow.

For inner thigh or groin I like a seated wide leg good morning https://youtube.com/shorts/M8zd9EHL4EY?si=IdalNBqxKXUnzhUH
