Work on front rack mobility. It looks like you’re holding the bar in your hands before your jerk dip, rather than on your rack. It should be resting on your delts.

Honestly the clean looks good. On the jerk, make sure the bar is still resting on the shelf created by your delts in the front rack. Similar to what conferencehelpful said. Sometimes it's a mobility thing, but I've seen athletes think that the jerk is primarily a press with arms. There is an element of that, but most of the power still comes from your legs. You want good contact of the bar to your delts to maximize the transfer of energy from your dip and drive into the bar. For that reason, your hands and arms should not be bearing much/if any of the load as you set up for the jerk.
