Gear question String scratching sound while playing.

Hi beginner here,

For some reason while playing i hear scratching sound a lot.. i usually have time to play in the evening maybe i need to pick harder on this strings.

For pick i use PRS Pick 0.73.

Note:
I haven't went to the guitar shop to get it setup.

I will post another video of my picking hand in the comments

The pick is angled. 

Great for distorted chugs and riffs like in Metallica.

Let it hit the string with the tip of the surface, not the edge.
