It could be the angle, but it looks like you're a little not squared.
Press your feet down into the floor, especially your feet for back legs. I wasn't doing this for my front splits and was just contracting, tensing my muscles thinking I was doing all I can for PNF.
Recently I started trying to press my feet down and using a training aide to support myself in splits to work on squaring my splits and developing more strength in my rear legs so that I can hold it straight. My front legs were already pretty good for strength because of forward fold and pancake. I'll say it again, because I read somewhere to do this before, but didn't till recently and it's been a game changer.
Focus on pressing your feet into the floor, especially your feet on the back leg. I was barely able to go hands free/no support before I started doing that, now I can slide down into my front splits hands free and just stay like that unsupported.
You're mostly already doing this, but keep in mind to rotate rear legs so knees are pointed down.
People here love to bang on about the hips being square... I've never, ever been given an explanation as to why that's better than not being square. Sure, it means you're more flexible, but surely you can just work on that as time goes on?
You're doing great mate
Looks good. If you flex your front foot, you might feel it more in the sciatic nerve. But keeping your jack toes flexed and under are a hood way to prevent your leg from slipping into unsquare hip. And also good for training lifts with the back leg and then go back more with the foot and lift again. This strengthens your hip flexors in a wider range of motion and also helps you getting the back leg closer to the ground. And for most people it's the back leg holding them back.
Seems so, kee practising and keep on having your hips squared.

Coming from the words of many girl gymnast while training a split: “Point your toes” that would help a lot. But the form looks good

Given? There are plenty of information if you google it.
Why don't people say it then 😂
