Thanks to all of you.

I'm switching to ATTG or all the way till my form is good.

By the way, the gym I go to doesn't have a squat rack or a cage, all
this while
I was using the smith machine, guess now I'll need some spotter to
heave the weights on to the shoulder.

If it doesn't have a cage, it's not a gym. That said, overhead squats and front squats are also interesting challenges, no rack required.

There are no other gyms in the vicinity, so I have no choice.

Squat racks and barbells are cheap, especially used; garage sales, craigslist, ebay....
