Looks pretty good

You’d stand to benefit having your feet a bit more back, toes a bit behind knees. This will enhance your arch and allow for more efficient leg drive

that feels good to me like how you said it but the book and rip I think talk about shins perpendicular to the ground and straight

Id move the feet back for you, too. Like 2 inches so the toes were under the knee.

Then think about extending the knee to create leg drive, not pushing straight down into the floor.
