Hello again coaches,
Yesterday while I was working on 112.5kg, I had the same issue again of my left index finger flexing under the bar, and then me extending the left wrist to try to keep the finger wrapped around the bar. From the very beginning, even when I first get under the bar, it feels like that index fingerpad is barely touching the bar. You'll see on the second set here at about the third rep that I start to extend my wrist:

Here's the third set from that same day, from a different angle, where the tip of the left index finger again flexes under the bar (from my recollection again at around the third rep):

And here, just in case it's useful, is the 1st set from that same day:

If you recall from my first form check (linked at the bottom of my above post), I had a head injury as a kid that gave me left side mirror weakness, similar to what a stroke sufferer would have. As a result one of the lingering effects is less fine motor control over my fingers.
I'm not sure why my left index finger pops under the bar mid-set like this, but for some reason it's (a little!) easier to get it wrapped back around the bar when I extend my wrist. This isn't painful at all, but just feels weird on the bar when it happens, and I feel like I could have less control over the bar (even though it of course is just sitting on the shoulder shelf).
So my question to y'all is, in your judgement do you think this misplaced left index finger could cause any trouble down the line? And if so, is it worth sacrificing wrist flexion to keep the finger in its place, for (I guess) safety issues?
Thanks!
