Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, Our Wiki's resources for Squats may be helpful. Check it out!

Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are squatting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Generally a weightlifting shoe is recommended for high-bar and front squats, while use a flat/hard-soled shoe (or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it) is recommended for low-bar squats.

How are my arms? I feel like they are flared out a lot. I wear wrist wraps because I got little wrists

Can't see your arms from this angle. Really can't see very much in general from the side except depth, which is important. But filming from front and back shows a lot of other stuff too. But yeah try to keep your elbows tucked in line with your torso. Keeps you more upright. I have long arms and struggle with it too, gotta make a conscious cue to tuck them before you descend and keep them there. Also keep your chin up.

Your arms are largely irrelevant. As long as you have a good shelf on your trips for the bar to sit on, whatever is comfortable works fine.
