Overall your form looks better.

I question the depth. Do NOT pause at the bottom. Hit it and drive to the top with your hips. If you watch the last rep, you will notice that your hips slow down but the bar doesn't slow down AS MUCH. (It still slows). This tells me that you are raising your chest vice driving the hips up!

Your pause at the bottom tells me that you are "searching" for depth. If you can sit on a toilet, you can get deep enough. During your warm up sets, video yourself. When you have the bar, see how low you can go all the way up through your working sets. You will know when you are too low, and with a 20Kg bar it won't matter. Keep working it. You are still below 100Kg, which is pretty light weight for you IMHO.

Yes, you worded it perfectly: I'm searching for depth, that's why I tend to pause. I need to remember what my body feels like at proper depth and try to remember it.

Thank you for you comments.
