Yup, looks like scapulas are a bit forward to the bar instead of directly over it. Squeezing chest up a little bit more would prolly make it right.
It seems like I instinctively tilt my neck upwards when straightening my back / squeezing my chest up. I need to pay attention to that next time.

A lot of stuff to pay attention to.
Apparently knee position at the bottom is a sum of everything - bar position, stance width, feet angle, hip angle, back angle, chest up, back extended, shoving knees out, sitting back...
Anyhoo, next time I'll pay extra attention to tightening everything up and taking that HUUUUUUUUGE breath before each rep.
