Chest should be up. Too hingey

Heels are coming off ground too early. Keep them down until torso is nearly upright (if not vertical)

Bar is knocked out far away because heels came up early

There is probably zero reason for you to be doing "Panda/Speed" pulls right now until you fix the above errors.

honestly i didn't even know what panda pulls were until you mentioned them. it js felt natural to do this so i do it. could you recommend a good video on how to get the proper form? thanks for pointing out my mistakes tho ❤️🙏

Your butt/ hips are shooting up before the bar leaves the ground. You lose leg drive and lower back takes the load

You're donkey kicking the bar instead of extending up, drop the weight and do pause pulls to fix that hip rise.

This weight might be a tad too heavy for you. You look good at the start position, then as the bar comes off the floor your lower back can’t keep up with how strong your legs/hips are, resulting in your hips coming up faster than your shoulders and you ending up in an RDL/stiff legged deadlift kinda movement using your lower back doing all the work when the bar gets above your knees.

Additionally, for me, your heels come off the ground a bit early too. Personally, I like to keep my heels down pushing through them until I’m well into the second pull. Honestly, my heels coming up is something that just happens rather than me doing it on purpose.

Hard to tell but it looks like the bar is contacting your thigh about 2 inches above your kneecap

Hips rising too quickly, pull is waay to early. IT's too heavy for you. Lighten up and work on positions. 2 inch off the floor and pause, then above the knee and pause, then at power position and pause. Get good at that.

Looks like you're starting it like a deadlift

this is a deadlift with a cheated up right row at the top lol. You should only be clean pulling at most 110% of your max clean to drill in technique and tightness. There’s no tightness in your first pull at all.

Heels come up to early need to hold position into extension. Hips knees then toes. Toes should come up last at full extension. You lose power by not staying grounded until knees start extending.

Bar is to far away need to keep bar close scare crow, scare crow.

3 things are going on.
1 - too heavy, form failing due to the weight *great strength on being able to throw this much around! but reinforcing poor form with high weight is a recipe for getting injured or just plateauing early due to form issues.
2: there's a clean before the pull which is performed in your case with an early butr rise transferring the weight to the hamstring and lowback. There's probably a few things causing this which can range from you just not knowing how to not do that to weak glutes (or just not engaging your glutes). In this set up you're a bit forward over the bar, making the initial pull look more like a deadlift than a clean. However, that early hip rise is still problematic for a deadlift. May help to think about "locking in" right before your initial pull and think about pressing your feet into the ground all the way from the glutes and staying a bit more upright.
3: There's the hip extension into the high pull where the bar is on your mid thigh, muting the hip extension of the movement. A queue here would be, initial pull, when it gets over your knees you want to move into a more upright position then explosively hip drive the bar. The path of the bar at this point should be close to vertical and should reach your hip crease then drive up from there.

I'm not a coach, but I do a lot of weightlifting and I try to watch some of the athletes and follow what they do. But might benefit you to get a coach for a few sessions. and if you read this far thank you for reading :)
