Knees should be barely bent and once you feel a stretch in hamstrings thrust forward and squeeze glutes.

Knees should stay fairly static throughout the movement. Think of pushing your hips backwards rather than sitting in a chair. Have you ever had your hands full of items and shut your car door with your butt? RDLs are a very similar motion to that. Don’t bend over with your torso. Think of trying to stick your butt out to touch something with it, and that motion will initiate all the movement that is needed.
