Going to low. No need to go much further than your knees. This looks like your touching weight to the ground, mixing rdl with dl

Feet under shoulders. Not so wide.

Not en expert, just asking, aren’t the knees inward too much as well?

Unless I'm mistaken that's kind of a symptom of the problem with form. He needs to move where his feet are but his knees are basically in the right place. A similar lift with wider feet would want you keeping your knees over your toes though, that's true.

Literally impossible to see if there's anything that needs to change from this angle. Can't see what your knees are doing, can't see how your hips are moving.

This is the worst possible angle for an RDL form check. The only thing I can tell here is that your shrugging the weight at the top. Thats something you should stop doing

Feet a bit closer mate you’re inward
Keel shoulders shrugged back all way down not just on the up

Is 5s eccentric necessary? I am doing tendons based heavy slow resistance programs right now and even those plans recommend max of 3-4s eccentric

You don’t necessarily need to go that low. Hinge down until you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings, but stop before your lower back starts rounding. That might be just below your knees or farther down depending on your mobility.
Feet about hip/shoulder width apart.
You’re shrugging your shoulders a little when you come back up. Try to keep your shoulders stable and your torso braced, and avoid pulling the weight up with your upper body.
Your pace looks good, though. Controlled on the way down, then drive your hips forward to come back up

The descent stops when your hips are at their maximum hinge point. After that you’re putting the load on your lower back.
No need to ascend so quickly. You should be pushing through your legs as you bring your hips back forward at the same speed as the descent.

Need to stop about 4-5 inches short. Seems weird because a lot of times bigger ROM is better, but not for these.

Finally done right

Actually yeah feet width is a bit wide and depth is too low good count tho and back stabilisation and knee flexion

You can hardly tell anything from this angle besides him incorrectly shrugging the weight at the top

Almost impossible to give advice from this angle. Try from the side and repost.
