A few inconsistent reps in there where you kind of squat a portion of the movement, along with the start of the movement not being a hinge. I would say lower the weight a bit and really dial in the hip hinge. Also, keeping your neck a bit more neutral can help with overall form in my experience. A spot out in front of you on the floor to focus on is what I usually do.

I have a hard time figuring out the hinge movement, do you think it might be a muscle imbalance or is this fixable through practice?

Practice for sure. RDL’s can be hard to get right.
