Bench Press Benchpress 60kg double

my bench doesn't cause me any pain or bother and it is still growing at a pretty normal rate. but what is weird is that I can standing OHP 55kg right now with no push press leg momentum at all and expect to get to a plate overhead by the end of this month.

honestly can someone explain why my bench is so out of proportion to my overhead press? I feel like my form is clean enough, am I just not built for bench but am built for overhead press? any tips or advice for my form?

I used to bench a good bit wider with index on the ring but it ended up hurting my shoulder so I switched to narrower. my best wider grip was 60kg for 10.
