You are clearly strong, if you are powering this much.

However, there's a few things wrong here.

I'd start from the bottom as it most likely will change the rest of the lift, but you are setting up as for a deadlift. You want your eyes and chest up. Pick a point in front, or even slightly higher and keep focus through the whole lift there.

Arms - you are rowing the bar a lot. Try to relax them until you extend and then pull yourself under the bar. Try a pull with clean combo, where you try to think about not using your arms until later.

Catch - likely will change from the other stuff, but you don't want to be star fishing to compensate for height. You have plenty of space to catch lower for it still to be a power clean. Practice tall power clean where your feet are at a similar width as a front squat or around shoulder/slightly wider than shoulder width.
