back looks rounded to me and your heads needs to get down so it is in line (angle) with your spine.

You've got the right idea, I'd say. It's the same setup as standard, minus the "shins to the bar" step. As such, the bar is away from the legs until it gets past the knees.
Do you "jerk" yourself into extension on your regular deadlifts too? You'd probably benefit from taking your time, methodically pulling all the slack out of the bar, and really squoze yourself into proper thoracic extension. Maybe take away the deficit until you figure out how that feels.
If Jordan says so, then ignore me.
I am not a coach but those look more like a conventional DL rather than SL. Please correct me if I am wrong.
A conventional deadlift would have a bit more knee flexion at the start.
Let's see a video off the 2" blocks. That approx. 4" total will make quite a difference, and you'll be able to set your back much better without the excessive stretching necessary in order to pull from a deficit.
