This is my second week and I'm struggling with SS already, which means that I'm doing something wrong I suppose.
I place the bar on my posterior deltoids and scapula for the squat, bend over slightly and then go down and up. Here's my form from today's workout and it wasn't very pretty:

As for the deadlift, I place the bar an inch away from the shins, bend over and grab the bar while making the shins touch the bar, and thensqueeze my chest out and pull. Still, there's a slight rounding in my lower back. Why? What else needs to be checked?

You posted this on Reddit, too. Good for you for joining. You will get better advice here.
As far as the squat goes. There are a few things going on. Your breaking at the knees first. Think hips back knee out simultaneously. Your stance looks narrow (hard to tell from the angle). Try opening up your stance and toes out 30deg. This will prob help you reach depth it looks like some of these were high. I would lighten the weight untill form improves. Good luck.
Your back is rounding on the deadlift, which might explain the pain. Don’t rest after every rep - otherwise you are not doing a set of 5 but 5 singles.
On the squat and dl, you look like you are not tight at all. Tighten everything up. Reread the chapters in the book. It looks like there is no hip drive at all on the squat.
Go to a lower weight if you need to to execute it correctly.
