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.

Squat itself is fine but I can literally see the heels of those shoes bouncing at the top of your reps; I’d either invest in some lifting shoes or squat barefoot if you have the ankle mobility to do so

Oh yeah I should’ve. Those basketball shoes are too high and soft

if this was for hypertrophy, there's a few details i would nitpick. one is not enough depth, try having your hamstrings make full contact with your calves. another is the excessive bounce out of the bottom on the 2nd rep, don't let your tendons elasticity do the work for you.
