You're taking very little time between reps to reset your back and get a new breath. A couple of extra seconds to focus on this step between reps and it should be fine.
You are stiff legging these a little bit, but it's not because of your setup as far as I can tell. You are one gangly dude, so your setup might look a little different than what you're used to seeing. The reason you're stiff legging them is because you're extending your knees too quickly and letting the bar get away from your legs. Watch your video at 0.25x speed and you'll see it. The first rep is the most egregious. Look at how much daylight there is between the bar and your legs as it's passing your knees. You can't exactly see it through the plates, but you'll be able to tell what I mean. Sounds weird, but think about being slow off the floor, treat it like a leg press until the bar passes your knees, and focus on keeping the bar against your legs the whole time.
