Low bar squat form check

I'm 23 years old, 6'0" tall and weigh 192lbs attempting low bar squats. Just started weightlifting at the beginning of the year, zero background in any physical activity, after getting a power rack and weight set+bench for Christmas though I finally got to start. First month I started with SS then I moved to stronglifts 5x5 at the beginning of February because I wanted to deload and do more sets to try and nail form.

I'm currently going for 135x5 Monday from up from 130x5 last Friday. The first 4 reps in the video are 125x5 and the last 4 are 130x5. Just looking for some general guidelines as I don't have a coach, should my back be more horizontal? Am I going deep enough? does that bar look like it's in the right place for low bar?

Here is the video
