I still have problems with this tbh. This is what is known in the business as "Clarking it". What has helped the most for me is doing sets of 3 from the high hang position. Since the barbell is already above your knees in this position, you don't get as much momentum on the barbell and you have to get under the bar. For example:

Also, if you're having issues with power cleaning it instead of full cleans, read this:
