notice how you sit back as you hit depth? you're breaking at the knees fine but you're not really breaking at the hips and instead opting to sit down. Now that's fine but you lack the mobility to squat perfectly up right like a pro weightlifter which is cause you to feel like you're bending over at the bottom with the bar shifting forward suddenly as you reach the hole (note the bar path, it's on your heels and as you reach bottom it should be around midfoot but because you're not in control it goes further).

next time break at the knees and the hips. Simultaneously, one before the other, that depends on individual but try simultaneously first. More often than not, once you broke both the knees and hips, as you sit down you'll get into the bottom position more naturally so it won't feel like a sudden shift.
