Do you have chucks? I suggest you try to squat in flat sole shoes. Looks to me like you have an a upper back rounding. The heel comes off the floor when you get out of the hole. I think you need flat shoes.
Also, low-bar squats are not a must, even if you want to compete. Sure, if you plan on being top 10 in the world it's a must...
Try looking just above parallel. Take a big breath, keep the core tight the whole way through, don't relax in the hole.
It also looks like your toes are not pointing the same direction as your knees but it's hard to tell in this angle. Try point your toes forward a little bit more and make sure to push the knees out!
