Bench form check - triceps tendonitis
After not benching for 2 months, I have completed 2 bench sessions and my triceps tendonitis is back with a vengeance. Since I didn't have any pain low bar squatting before I reintroduced bench, I think it's coming from the bench and not the squat?

I would appreciate any form tips!
Background:
Since I started the program in June, I've had a sharp pain just above my elbow, on the lateral side, and duller "muscle pull" pain at the triceps attachment in my armpit area. In September, I did something extra bad to my triceps - I think a muscle pull, with sharp pain in the middle of my triceps.
A massage therapist told me my pecs were too tight, and I quit benching. After a month of high bar squatting and aggressive stretching, foam rolling pecs, etc, I was able to return to low bar squatting pain free. 2 weeks ago I reintroduced the bench. Now everything hurts again. I can't get into low bar squat position and it wakes me up at night.
