Why are you taking a hike with the bar? Set your grip, get underneath, take one step out and set your stance. You need to stay tight and get your elbows and arms underneath the bar, they are not underneath, your arms are too close to your sides. Get the elbows out more. For your hip drive, you are just leaning back instead of popping forward with the hips. This is placing you in a compromised position with your back severely arched and is going to be snap city with any kind of weight on the bar. Stay tight, stay upright, explode using your hips towards the wall and drive your chest forward underneath the bar. Also, your bar path is poor. You are attempting to press around your head versus in a straight line. A good cue for that is: nose. Think of literally pressing towards your nose. The hip drive will already place your head behind the bar, you're not going to smack yourself. Press the bar towards the nose and drive your chest underneath.

Is this better ?

Push back more on the way up. Also, the hip snap needs to be more dynamic. Check out some of John Petrizzio's vidoes of his presses and you'll see this.

The second rep looked best in those. Also, why still 45kg ? Your last session didn't look so bad that you shouldn't progress.

Practice the hip snap in your warm ups. An empty bar should fly up when you get the timing right.
