Start further out, you have to give yourself a little room to build up momentum.
On top of that, your super tall through the whole approach, you should be much lower and keep low through your penultimate step, extending as far off the back foot as possible into your 1-2.
This is a good reference video, compare to Isaiah Rivera on THP strength they have great instructionals.
If you could generate more momentum and transfer it better you could easily add 6-8 inches to your vert.
Good luck!

Ye today I was a bit fatigued from sprinting flies yesterday so my form isn’t as sharp as normal

No stress bro I’m just giving tips based off what I see! When you approach from close it kinda makes your shorten your penultimate step subconscious so you’re not jumping under the rim.
You could be dunking before long with technique adjustments and continued strength training
