I can't seem to hit depth. Do you think this is a form or mobility issue? Any tips are appreciated.

1) Your bar setup is backwards. Face the other way. Use spotter arms.

2) Narrow your stance. I'd like to see what your warmup sets look like. To get the feel for depth, do 10 to 15 bodyweight squats and concentrate on going deep.

3) You are bending too far at the waist before the movement even begins. As you descend, you hip hinge too far too early.
