Let go of the bar in the rack position. You need to catch the bar with an open hand, with the bar more on your fingers than in your hand. You have a death grip on the bar, and it is causing you to rack with low elbows. Bar on fingertips. Very few people who haven't been weightlifting since they were itty bitty can rack a clean with a closed grip and still get their elbows up high enough. Over time, this often causes people elbow and/or scapula pain.
