Overall I think your squat videos look ok. You have some issues but you are working on them.
There are a couple issues that I see in both the squat videos and the two that you did for testing depth and flexibility.
At the top you lean forward which you should not do.
At the bottom you round to get to depth which you should not do.
If you focus on keeping your back in position through the range of motion and let that dictate depth, while you consciously strive for proper depth (just below parallel is fine imo) you will be good to go.
Another thing you can do is program in front squats. Front squats force you to maintain proper form, you literally will drop the weight if you round forward, while putting a lot more pressure on the specific areas that are causing you issues in your back squat.
Other than that, I would not be super stressed. Presently, the difference between hitting proper depth with correct form and what you are doing before you round out to hit depth is only a few inches...that's not a big deal.
Something you can work on and get to overtime.
